Lidia's Kitchen season 4 episode 15, titled "Steak House Favorites," is a culinary journey that will leave your mouth watering. The episode features host Lidia Bastianich, a well-known Italian-American chef and restaurateur, sharing her favorite steakhouse-inspired dishes.
The episode begins with Lidia showcasing her recipe for a classic New York strip steak. She expertly seasons the steak with a blend of rosemary, garlic, and olive oil, then sears it to perfection on a cast-iron skillet. As the steak cooks, Lidia whips up a creamy horseradish sauce to perfectly complement the juicy meat.
Next, Lidia moves on to a hearty side dish: a loaded baked potato. She bakes the potatoes in the oven until they're tender and fluffy, then tops them with sour cream, chives, and crispy bacon.
But the steakhouse feast doesn't end there. Lidia also prepares a classic creamed spinach dish, featuring sautéed spinach in a rich béchamel sauce. To give the dish a little kick, she adds a pinch of nutmeg and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
To finish off the meal, Lidia shows viewers how to make a perfectly sweet and decadent dessert: chocolate lava cake. She expertly mixes together melted chocolate, butter, egg yolks, and sugar to create a rich chocolate batter. She then bakes the mixture in ramekins until the outside is firm and the center is molten and gooey.
Throughout the episode, Lidia takes time to share her cooking tips and techniques. Viewers will learn how to properly season and sear a steak, how to make a perfectly fluffy baked potato, and how to master the art of making a rich béchamel sauce.
