My husband and I rarely go out to steakhouses (I'm usually to the biggest fan of that much meat) but when we do, we basically order the same thing every time. Why mess with the classics?
We start with clams casino or something of that nature. Follow it up with a wedge or caesar salad. Main dish is usually a Porterhouse for two with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Key lime pie for dessert.
It's the same thing, but why mess with the classics. I love clams casino (mmm need to make that sometime) and I love creamed spinach. The steak is ok too, I suppose.
I make a "lighter" creamed spinach than you'll find in a steakhouse, but its still pretty rich. If you want something delicious and rich feeling, try this as a side dish with your next steak

- 1 Tbsp butter
