Steak Creamy Garlic Shrimp Surf And Turf Food

SURF AND TURF: STEAK AND SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mash together the butter, garlic rosemary, thyme and parsley. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
• If possible, take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, to let them come to room temperature.
• Brush steaks on both sides with olive oil. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper, patting to help the seasonings stick.
• Heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until very hot.
• Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip and cook for 2-7 minutes, until done to your liking.* Rare: 120 degrees (49 degrees C), 1-2 minutes* Medium Rare: 130 degrees (54 degrees C), 2-4 minutes* Medium: 140 degrees (60 degrees C), 4-6 minutes* Medium Well: 150 degrees (66 degrees C), 6-8 minutes* Well Done: 160 degrees (71 degrees C), 8-10 minutes
• Remove the steaks from the pan. Cover to let them rest and keep them warm.
• Turn off heat. Wait for the pan to stop smoking, then lightly wipe down the pan if it has any pieces left.
• With the heat off but while the pan is still hot, add 2 tablespoons of garlic butter in smaller chunks. (Reserve the rest of the garlic butter for the steaks later.) Move the butter pieces around as they melt, so that the melted butter coats the pan evenly.
• Once butter melts, turn on heat to medium. Quickly add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-3 minutes per side, until opaque and golden.
• Serve steaks with a pat (1 tablespoon) of garlic butter on top. Serve shrimp alongside the steaks, with garlic butter from the pan poured over them, and a squeeze of lemon, if desired.

STEAK WITH CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear/grill steaks for 4-5 minutes each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
• Transfer steaks to a warm plate; set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet (if using a skillet). Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and sear until just cooked and pink -- about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.(For grill: grill seasoned shrimp while brushing with melted butter until done.)
• To the same skillet, add the remaining butter, add the garlic, sauté until fragrant (about one minute). (If grilling meats, you will need to grab a pan or skillet for this step.)
• Pour in the white wine (or broth), and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally. Add in the parmesan cheese; allow to melt through the simmering sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the shrimp back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and stir through.
• Serve with steaks.
