I wanted to use my "orzotto" technique specifically to compliment steak, and this is what I came up with. The spinach was a last minute thought, and I am so glad I added it. It was a fantastic finish.
Ingredients
- 1lb orzo shopping list
- 2 cups beef stock or broth shopping list
- 4T butter shopping list
- 1 red or sweet onion, chopped(can sub 3 shallots, if desired) shopping list
- 6-8oz fresh baby spinach, chopped shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 2T worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1/4 cup red wine(or sub with more beef stock) shopping list
- 1/4-1/3 cup cream shopping list
- 8oz blue cheese(I used gorgonzola) shopping list
- kosher or sea salt and fresh ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Boil orzo per package directions, but subbing 2 cups beef stock for part of the water. Stop just shy of "al dente".
- When done, drain and quickly rinse and toss to keep from sticking.
- In same pan, melt butter over medium low heat and add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is tender.
- Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, and wine and cook about 2 minutes until spinach has cooked down, slightly. See Photo
- Add pasta back to the pan, and add 1/4 cup cream and the blue cheese and stir well.
- Place lid on pan and let rest about 5 minutes.
- Stir again, adding more cream, if needed, for desired creamy consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper.
