Spinach and feta steak with salty-sweet wedges FAQ:
The potato wedges should be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Cook the beef fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. An internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) is ideal. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
If you need a substitute for feta cheese, consider using goat cheese or ricotta, which will provide a similar creamy texture but with a different flavor profile.
Leftover spinach and feta steak and potato wedges can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
A standard baking tray (approximately 18 x 13 inches) works well for baking the potato wedges, ensuring they lay in a single layer for even cooking.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef fillets for a tender and flavorful result.
- For crispier potato wedges, spread them out on the baking sheet so they don't overlap.
- Use freshly ground black pepper and a good quality sea salt for the best seasoning.
- Make sure the spinach is well-washed and drained to avoid extra moisture in the dish.
- Crumble the feta cheese just before serving to keep its texture and flavor intact.
- Let the beef fillets rest after cooking to retain their juices and ensure a moist and tender steak.
