Ruth's Chris Steak House Creamed Spinach

Yessir, this is just about as good as it gets if you like spinach. We thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The bay leaf and the clove gave just hints of seasoning which were tantalizing. Nice and creamy, and a beautiful color if you use fresh spinach. Just remember to rinse those bags of "prewashed" spinach anyway, because sometimes they don't always get the sand out. This dish was just wonderful for us. Thanks for posting and sharing.

Sshh, don't tell... I cheated and used frozen spinach! Actually, you should shout this one from a hilltop because the flavor is fabulous! I always wondered what it was about Ruth's Chris Steak House recipe that I couldn't duplicate... bay and clove! Never would have guessed it. I added 1 minced shallot to the recipe on my second try and really enjoyed the little extra flavor, but the recipe is great with onion alone. I paired this with pan seared tofu for a dish that hints of paleek paneer(one of my favorite indian dishes). Remember that just because it's a steak house recipe doesn't mean it can't be used for vegetarian purposes! All in all, a savoury dish that was greatly enjoyed.

My family wasn't thrilled with this recipe, I think they may just prefer cooked spinach without the sauce. I think it's important that it is seasoned well with salt & pepper and kept hot when served, it really makes a difference. It would probably also be improved with the addition of some minced garlic.

This was okay - I've never had it in the SteakHouse, but if I were to do it again, I'd add some nutmeg and some Parmesan cheese. But I probably wouldn't make this recipe again.

I can't remember the last time I had this at Ruth's Chris, but I sure did like it your way! :) Thanks, very good!

This was great! I steamed my spinach and then added ice cubes to chill it down. I also hand chopped on a cutting board after drying. Came out perfect. Thanx!

Having never been to Ruth's Chris, but LOVING Creamed Spinach, I had to try this recipe!! I was not disappointed, it is wonderful! I think I may change my 'Zaar name to the Shortcutter, because, if there is a short cut, I will find it. Instead of cooking the spinach first (and cooling, draining and drying) I put the raw spinach in the food processor and gave it a whirl. I added the raw minced spinach to the thick cream sauce and let it cook for the 5+/- minutes as recommended. I did that for two reasons: the time as I've said, but also the nutrition. If you boil it first, your vitamins (if they don't die in the boiling water) get leached out and go down the drain. This way, cooking on low heat for the 5 minutes softens the spinach and retains the nutrition. I also pumped up the clove and added nutmeg as a personal preference. Thank you Yooper, dinner was wonderful!

I made this with chopped beet greens and it was delicious! I had everything but the clove, so I am looking forward to trying it with that addition in the future, but even without it, the dish was terrific. Thanks!

Very, very good recipe! Even better the second day! A little more trouble than I usually take for a side dish, but so worth it with a nice steak dinner. The bay leave and clove definitely added to the flavor. Thanks!

Excellent recipe - the sauce was divine! I wound up with what seemed like twice as much sauce as I needed, but that's okay as I served it with penne pasta as a sauce - yummy! I also added a bit of nutmeg, and cut some of the fat by using 3 TBSP of butter and a bit of olive oil in the first step, fat-free half and half instead aof milk, and Butter Buds instead of butter at the end. Tasted great to me!

very good. This is my favorite thing to order there. I'm vegan since the last time I ordered this a the restaurant. I used soy milk and earth balance butter here and to me it tasted just like RC's. Good eats, there were no leftovers.

Delicious! So easy to make (I cheated and used frozen spinach), and this still managed to upstage the steak that it went with.

This was really good. I cooked the spinach in a microwave steam bag for 2 minutes (in batches) and I only had 2% milk, but this was still creamy and full of flavor.
