Creamed Spinach Recipe - Steakhouse Creamed Spinach

[RasheemH]

Why do I always watch these videos when I'm starving and my fridge is empty? -_- FML

[Commandos12]

hairy hands xD

[spektaloza]

I am looking for a veggan version.

I was thinking of using :

- olive oil instead of butter

- soy cream or soy milk instead of cream

[jawmare]

@spektaloza fuck vegans.

[fathomboy991]

@spektaloza The only real problem with trying to make a Vegan version would be making the Roux to thicken it, maybe you could add a Slurry to it made of Soy Milk and Cornstarch. It might not work, but give it a shot. If it doesn't, stick with just cooked through spinach, it tastes just as good. :)

[MissCreamMuffin]

I just made this and it is amazing!!!

[curiousSOUL22]

I find your voice soooo sooothing!!! and the music helps too... it gives me the feeling that everything is right with the world..

[BILLY7860943]

hmmm spinach and whale meat yummy

[MegaH4tt0rih4nz0]

Fuck this im in love with hes food ;(

[TheVagabondWolf]

Chef John ur the best!

[IrinarinarinaRafil]

can i use baby spinach for this?

[crax4dan]

This guy is miles better than regular TV chefs, he has a unique style of talking etc...great video's :)

[irocktheworld999]

if you live on the east side of a building just ask you neighbors if they would help you cool your spinach (just hope they are not making the same thing)

[SethHesio]

LMFAO, same music as Half in the Bag on RedLetterMedia. Bwa ha ha ha!

[szpeeker]

at 2:54 I saw steam and thought it was real, what is hunger doing to me????????

[ynb106]

I have just finished cooking and eating this amazing recipe! you can not imagine how out of the world delisious was that, give it a try, you wont regret

[kuruptm4a1]

His videos make cooking seem so fun. I'm definitely using this recipe for thanksgiving.

[maaachinima]

A romantic wintery valentines???

[Stanco1919]

really good

what would be the easier way to make it cheesy? my wife is a cheese lover and everything I make have to be cheese-based :)

[AboveControl]

@Stanco1919 add cheddar cheese then.

[SPERONERR]

lol I love how you cut off a little tbl spoon of butter, i thought that was it. But then you just nonchalantly threw in a big ass brick of butter into another pan haha

[Rickitard]

haha i love the part at the end in where he say "and as always, enjoy" in that sorta pedo voice, gets me every time. lol anyway great vid, made this and it was amazing! Thanks, Chef John

[decentbeautie]

ur cream mixture is really thick .. :s

[boopydad]

i love spinach, really just about all of my vegetables

[Qjemuse]

tasted wonderful

but i do wonder how many nutrition is gone from the cooking...

[appleguy1804]

when ppl talk about butter, is it salted or non salted?

[decentbeautie]

@appleguy1804 in baking..itx good if v u use unsalted butter.. but in cooking it duxnt matter.. bcux v always hav to add salt later as well..

[KBAFourthtime]

Nice video and nice recipe.

[akkalakakalakka]

Forget the milk. Sour Cream. Do it.

[TehAntt]

mhmmm

[supercooled]

That's basically spinach in Aflredo sauce :p

[emir895]

i love when you say "enjoy" cause thats what i do

[yuraanimanga]

I don't even like Spinach and this looks amazingly good :)

[LaughinWarheads]

my dad just got fresh spinach and I'm so excited to try this recipe!

Does the music in the beginning remind anyone else of sims?

[paviaedwin]

people please watch the video tha bobbo 44445 made it is awesome

[LovesIngredients]

very nice vid im trying this one soon :) question what can you use in replace of the flour? corn starch or can you use bobs redmill flour.?

[yukita]

he makes me feel at ease with his friendly explanations

[ShadowBoarder33]

Oo healthy and delicious! I'm definitely gonna try this! =)

[FabGirlJulia]

that was bechamel sauce..onion and garlic were extra....

[stanley14321]

@poopalisk but u realize, what kind of GOOD chef is skinny? just putting that out there

[dd08880bb]

I like mine way better :P XD

I finely chop the spinach (not too fine but finer than 5 times :D), don't drain it all the way, and I don't use onions. and at the end I add creme fraiche.

Don't get me wrong this looks fine :D

[bbrunskill]

that's crying out for some parmesan!

[123haninhk]

oooh thank you thank you! it's easy enough to make.

[trouble1macker202]

@poopalisk You know kapusta is polish, and takes a whole stick of butter.

[kiearac]

@poopalisk STFU and brush ur teeth :)

[xLeoTony]

ok i love chef john and all his cooking but

Cut down on the butter and u might stop losing all your hair (:

[loopasars]

I just finished making this. It was sooooo easy and delicious.

[BeaverCleavage1]

I made this for thanksgiving and I found it to be to thick and pasty .I cooked the roux long enough but it was just to thick. the taste was ok but it was way to thick I think too much flour. I thought it looked to thick on the video and it was. only my brother in law complained he said it would make good wall paper glue , so I threw him out of the house.

[xTwistedLovex]

@BeaverCleavage1

I like how many times you said thick.

[BeaverCleavage1]

@xTwistedLovex I can't express how thick it was.... Chef John said you could stand a spoon in it and he was not kiddin.....

[coastal455]

mmmmm...love your videos..

[Fluffymonkeyem]

Mmm. But so damn buttery.

[Orion6699]

Hell Yea! Sweet cream butter is good for u! All I eat... ooops! just broke my chair...

[wc3nExiZi]

What was that powdery looking stuff in the stock pot when you added the spinach??

[kyriel]

Lol, you guys are stupid. REAL sweet cream butter is NOT bad for you. It's full of short chain fatty acids that are GOOD FOR YOU. It's the nasty vegetable butters that kill you. (man made long chain fatty acids are BAD!) Learn real nutrition!

[MySkullgirl]

anything he makees tastes gud!!!!!!

[bouncyMANGOES]

The butter overwhelms me. x_x

[yobei2004]

Even though I had to substitute some ingredientsbecause I used what I had on hand (like cinnamon butter instead of regular butter and nutmeg) , the final product exceeded my expectations. I did add a splash of lemon juice to provide that tang I was looking for. Overall, fabulous base recipe! Screw healthy; I'll go for flavor any day! :)

[bjbree]

so how many servings is this??

[4everTailsFan11]

*>* ITS AMAZING=D

[cklawless]

this recipe is wow and taste really yummy...

[4everTailsFan11]

ITS SO GOOD

DX

[smellykat74]

YUMMY!

[jennyzha0]

Popeye's gonna have a HEART ATTACK. but it look so delish

[dabker]

@jennyzha0

thats what the garlic is for xD

to prevent that xD

[mrdswhite]

man that is sooo good i just tried it and it look just like yours wish i could post a pic i cooked a 20oz ribeye with mine.

[Itsnameisgundam]

*mouth watering*

wooow... amazing.. gotta give that a try.

[DonerciHussam]

I would love to see a recipe without butter, as i have high cholesterol. If you did have a recipe that way, is it possible to let me know where i can find it? Thanks!

[man0204]

i hate spinach.....

[kiekie84]

@man0204 amen! me too yuck!

[sgtpreus]

Thanks, Seth Rogan! 

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

Can u do that recipe without the butter?

[Zyrog]

did you know nutmeg is actually poisonous in high doses?

[Metsada007]

No cream cheese?

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

Poppy would certainly like that.

[GoingBerzerkeley]

Hm, it looks good.. but I wish there was some way to avoid ALL THAT BUTTER! :O Any possible substitute for a person who is very health conscious?

[Zyrog]

@GoingBerzerkeley instead of thickening your milk with a roux you can try using a slurry of cornstarch and water. just google it if you want more information on slurries.

[GoingBerzerkeley]

@Zyrog Thanks so much! I will be sure to look it up.

[chinhinho]

gracias cosa linda

un besazo

[toutlesag]

Thank you, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this recipe!

[AnotherRegularTeen]

roux+cold milk=sauce béchamel

[moneowen]

im loving it

[zev007]

awesome presentation, but funny as well. if i dont put my spinach by a western window, can i put it by a northern one, but spin the plate clockwise?

[joshua61991]

like the idea of feta when in Bechamel, But i think I would use a blue cheese, gorgonzola maybe. Light on it though, it is more of a steak house feeling than feta.

[lovelyaley]

ahhh wish the measurements were on here!

[btnheazy03]

mouth watering

[mfreeman01]

I just want to say that I made this last night and I'm in love with you. Seriously.

[418608]

@mfreeman01 Too bad he is married eh? :P

[Ange1gur1]

wow, I thought there was cheese in creamed spinach. lol

[wdgeo]

actually, if you added in some Feta while at the bechamel stage (2;19), it would be spectacular!

[kkorovesis]

Chef i really like your channel....I love it....is the sos sth like basamel???? isn't it?

[SkysongOfSerenity]

Hey could you make some vegetarian dishes?

[meowthsy]

so good

[LovingPinkLibra]

Yummy! Cooled by an open window with a western exsposer.hahaha Too funny! I really laughed like that too. Plfftt

Good food & laughter, perfect mix in life. :o)

[AmythystStar]

I've been looking for a creamed spinach recipe and this looks amazing! Can't wait!

[joyjoyooO]

CLOVE is the secret ingredient???? where can i buy that and nutmeg?

[anorielrose]

You can get both at most mega-marts these days, luckily. =)

[PaisleyGiraffe]

When I first saw this vid, I thought it'd be kinda gross, like the traditional, soggy frozen spinach, but this looks AMAZING! Can't wait to try it!

[hourglas39]

Love your channel !

This looks so yummy !

I'm definitely going to give it a try !

Thanks for Sharing and OMG, That steak looks sooooo Good too ! :)

[valentilb]

I use a larger spinach to bechamel ratio and add pecorino cheese (w / less salt), ground corriander and a squeeze of lemon. Corriander is the perfect spice with spinach, give it a try.

[jmer41]

wow i don't even really care for cooked spinach, but i might try this. looks awesome.

[prilstrudel]

I eat the spinach with good old German mini Bratwursts from Nuremberg.

hmmmm...delicious!

and NO ketchup please!

[kikine05]

There is nothing like fresh food I swear.

[Lexphoto]

Im sure that tastes great but..im super lazy... what about taking that spinach and adding condenced mushroom soup as the "creamed" part? Would have hardly any butter, sure it would be a different flavor but i bet would be just as tasty. And a whole lot easier to make.

[albertalbertalbert]

then it would taste like poop! the point of this show is to learn how easy it is to cook real food so you dont have to eat processed things like cream of mushroom soup. :D

[MaxBialystock]

@Lexphoto

Really isn't that hard to be honest. Probably takes 20 minutes tops, maybe 30. But to each their own, I'm a chef and love cooking and in the end something that you make yourself that comes out good is far better than any condensed soup.

[nasty11]

All that butter!

Enjoy your heart attack.

[JackiePaquito]

Butter is good for you! Its sugar you should watch out for.

[gurraglad]

very good recipe

[penguinistas]

When i saw the title (Steakhouse Creamed Spinach) I thought it was a mistake. Having Steak and spinach in the same sentence is illegal in some states. But looks good.... I may give it a try.

[1kperday]

I like the idea of using milk/roux rather than just tons of cream. I'm going to try this. Nicely done.

I like garlic in mine also.

[xoxSandyxox1976]

OMG! It looks like the spinach dip from chili's or wait, is it apple bees? Idunno, it is delicious but I don't know if this is the same flavor. I'll try it tho :0)

Thanks Chef John!

[MSberries94]

make a CHEESECAKE!!

[lauweroos]

WOW thats a lot of garlic lol

[Jealkeja]

That's a really thick sauce, chef. Is it not supposed to be napè?

[Lemit]

Anyone tried this yet? o.o Was it good?

[wholefoodsrecipes]

Great dish!

[adfkjgvdjfvbdbvdkjvb]

phew! good thing i ate b4 watching this otherwise I'd drool all over my keyboard ;p

[jackface0410]

in ethiopia, they make you watch foodwishes as torture.

[VENTRUE05]

@jackface0410 lol!

[tenebre26]

bechamel??

[Doderhultarn89]

Wow. you can even make spinach unhealty

[FeralatMathinna]

@Doderhultarn89

Unhealthy how? Yeah, I know you mean the butter... but of course, there's nothing wrong with butter.

[heidishoshana]

@Doderhultarn89 if you use skim milk, this recipe is just fine! Also, I'm sure there is a way to reduce the amount of sauce so your creamed spinach is more spinach than cream.

[kaycee8907]

@Doderhultarn89 what do u mean by making the spinach unhealthy???

[codewalters]

I love Spinach. Thanks for the video

[magicbuskey]

That looks like a perfectly Pittsburghed steak in the background.

[MobileMediaProducts]

It looks like you had too much rue for the amount of spinach added. I guess you wanted to have green mashed potatoes (kind of)? What do you think? Mark

[pablolankenau]

rue? roux..

[MobileMediaProducts]

Let's start by insulting someone, sweet!

[pablolankenau]

Merely educational critic. Sorry if you feel inferior when someone corrects you with no other objective than just correcting you so you know your error.

[MobileMediaProducts]

I encourage you to ask yourself, Did I correct him for the reason I said, or, did I correct him to show that I am better somehow? I've been writing for almost 40 years, and no longer follow the rules others choose to have power over people. Creativity requires us to know the rules, not because we must follow them, but because they must be broken.

[19jj80]

Nicely put Mobile :) not only do we have food police patrolling YouTube, we have spelling police!!! Quick everyone!!! Grab your dictionaries!!!!

[MobileMediaProducts]

Ah, yes, spelling police. It's what every writer does on the way to their first novel/role of toilet paper quest. Been there, done that, got over it, accepted the rules, know them, use them, and work hard to abuse them! I still think his roux is too thick, but now I'm curious as to what exactly is a béchamel sauce?

[19jj80]

Hmmm, not 100% sure on bechamel.....perhaps a quick trawl around YouTube would enlighten you Mobile? This site truly is the font of all knowledge.........Lol!

[taloc00000]

I encourage you to ask yourself this: "Do I overreact to the most minor of corrections from helpful strangers, which I take as massive infractions upon my wellbeing as a human?"

When you launch into a spiel about inferiority and also take a single comment, a spelling correction (and nothing else), as an insult, you're probably at that point where people stop inviting you over for dinner and don't really enjoy your company all that much. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound, chap?

[MobileMediaProducts]

Nice words. You should consider writing for Oprah's magazine.

[septriyana]

I REALLY LOVE ALL UR VIDEO!!!!

[8927653]

I've made this for years...even my kids love it! Nice job explaining the squeezing process. The most important part.

[xMoveLikeUGonnaDiex]

"SEXY SIDEDISH FOR VALINTINES DAY" lol you goof.

[irongame2]

why cool off the spinach in a western exposure window?

[Nospherith]

I like the clove and nutmeg additions.

[st3ic86]

omg that looks DELICIOUS!!!

[MSberries94]

It was a delissshhhhh loved it!!

i wish, i wish, for a PECAN PIE=)

[azndude3600]

Never heard of that before.

[eatingperson]

When I saw the title I couldn't imagine this turning out to be good. But that actually looks delicious. Chef John...how do you do it?

[willhound2]

Looks SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!

[momozemios]

looks good... the sauce was a lil bit overcooked...

[winkiiV]

sweeeeeet, i just bought spinach

[DJTommyboye]

the only west facing window in my house is in the bathroom... now my food tastes like crap!

[TheDenisedrake]

1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup butter

[JonE23]

What does he mean by a stick of butter?? How much is that?? Can someone help me please... Thank You in advanced

[LeviathAileron]

Normally margerine comes in the tubs but butter comes in packets that have rectangle sticks.

One stick is equal to a half cup.

[zoikkeli]

1 stick of butter is also (by weight) 1/4 pound or approx. 115 grams of butter. By volume, one stick is roughly 8 tablespoons, or about 120 ml.

[KWalsh554]

Chef John is my favorite blogger! I cannot believe you made my absolute least favorite dish look almost edible... almost.

[dasupasin]

I want to tell my mom to make this, but she always oes whatever she want and willl probably mess it up =\

[dragonflask]

My food wish is the ULTIMATE NACHO

[ClaroSidus]

Fantastic, i will make this. Thanks for the recipe. =D

[123chandrani1]

umm! i going to try......

[BusyBeingFabulous]

Could you please make creamed broccoli recipe?

[himitsusj]

I've noticed that a lot of your recipes (and recipes in general) contain tons of onions. One of the members of my household is allergic to them. What can I substitute to get the same sort of flavor profile, or is there an amount of chives I can throw in that will equal the onion?

[recamel]

leeks :)

[pokergypsy]

@himitsusj how about the onion powder? will that work?

[recoil53]

jimitsusj

The problem with the vegetables that taste similar to onions is that they are related to onions. So they are probably allergic to shallows, leeks, and green onions.

I'd say leave it out. While it is nice to have in this dish, it isn't one of the main flavorings. It won't taste the same, but will still be good.

[ellelesrose]

Looks great but I'd like to use less butter.

[jevlarss]

@ellelesrose

Exercise more!

[iNfx1]

Looks great, coming from your recipe, I bet it tastes amazing.

[mickysantos]

If I went on a dinner date and I had to eat cream spinach, you'd bet there would be no 2nd date lol I'm kidding, the recepie looks nice it's just that I really don't like cream spinach

[mmaier2112]

Would this be okay to bake for a few minutes on high heat to crust the top a little? Maybe with some freshly-grated Parm topping it?

[recoil53]

This is actually good with parmesan mixed in. Cooking isn't going to make it mushier, it's all pretty well cooked. You might use the broiler.

[Foodaholics101]

Oh this looks really good! i used to eat the stuff from Boston Market when I worked there. That was some good stuff, but this looks better. I will definitely try it one day.

[GazeRock123]

spinach = healthy

stick of butter = not healthy

[jsparakov]

Throw those two together = old-fashioned "wholesomeness"

[Kazanu06]

pretty balanced :D

[JTshoot]

@GazeRock123 Who cares ?

[ellelesrose]

@JTshoot

If you don't care about gaining weight and having heart problems in the future, you don't have to care. :))))

[sedatedlife18]

Sorry, but I just don't find spinach appetizing unless it's in dip.

[Suyamu]

I'm not sure I can get any fresh spinach - would this dish also work with frozen spinach?

[paulineSherris]

they should have like bagged fresh spinach in the salad aisle :) lol
