Creamed Beef Florentine
1 lb. ground round or sirloin
Peanut or Walnut oil for browning
2 Tablespoons finely minced or chopped onion
1 can whole leaf spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Parmesan
or Romano Cheese - preferably fresh
Brown burger (Laura's Lean brand works well here if
it's available in your area) with finely minced onion, taking care to break
burger into fine bits as you brown (avoid large clumps of beef.) This browns
best in peanut oil or walnut oil but any will do. When done, remove burger from
skillet to a bowl and set aside. Lower heat to simmer and pour in 1 cup of heavy
cream and stir until cream begins to reduce. Add ground black pepper and stir.
Add 1 can of well drained spinach and stir gently until hot and the cream is
getting a bit thick. Add burger meat back into skillet gently and mix well with
sauce.
Spoon into shallow bowls and top with salt to taste and lots and lots of
Parmesan or Romano Cheeses. It's quite delicious, but admittedly a bit odd
looking.
