Lemon Garlic Butter Steak with Spinach, adapted from Christina Cherrier.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 3 ⅓ lb Flank steak — sliced against the grain

- 2 ½ lb Fresh spinach

- 8 tbsp Butter or ghee. or less if you want

- 8 clove Garlic — minced

- 1 count Lemon — juice

- ½ cup Low-sodium beef broth

- ½ cup Chopped parsley

- ½ cup Chopped chives

- ½ tsp Crushed red pepper flakes

- to taste Salt and fresh cracked pepper — to taste. Source gives no numeric quantity; use to taste/as garnish as written.

- 1 ⅓ cup Low-sodium soy sauce. or coconut amino for paleo and gluten-free

- 1 ½ cup Olive oil

- 4 tbsp Sriracha sauce. or any hot chili sauce you like

## Equipment

- Stovetop

- Pans

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Coat steak strips in soy sauce, olive oil and hot sauce; refrigerate 30–60 minutes. Wash and drain spinach.

2. **Step 2.** Melt one-quarter of the butter and wilt spinach for 1 minute, turning. Drain it on a plate and clean the skillet.

3. **Step 3.** Drain steak and reserve marinade. Melt half the butter over medium-high, season steak, and sear strips 1 minute on the first side, then turn to cook the other side; work in batches and set aside.

4. **Step 4.** Add remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, chili flakes, broth, parsley, chives and reserved marinade. Bring marinade to a full boil before reducing 1–2 minutes.

5. **Step 5.** Return steak and drained spinach, coat in sauce and warm through; serve immediately.

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: milk, soy, wheat. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- US spinach 1 1/4 lb conflicts with source 500 g; US measure retained.

- Marination adds 30–60 minutes beyond declared 25-minute total.

- Source raw-marinade sauce says simmer only; this adaptation requires full boil before reduction.

- Source second-side steak time is unspecified; do not assume its one-minute first side guarantees doneness.

- Unlisted lemon-slice garnish omitted.

- The publisher gives no measured amount for: Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 2 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
