Serve up chef-grade fare at home with this easy recipe that helps you achieve tender, juicy steaks and mouthwatering shrimp every time!
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (8 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1-2 teaspoons salt and pepper for seasoning steaks
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, like rosemary, basil, and parsley minced and divided
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 10-14 large shrimp about 1/2 pound
Instructions
- Take the steaks out of the fridge and let them rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
- Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven and set the broiler to 500°F. Once the oven has reached temperature, remove the skillet from the oven.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of avocado oil onto a plate. On a separate plate, mix together the salt and pepper, to taste.
- Roll the steaks in the oil and then roll all sides through the salt and pepper mixture. Set aside.
- Mix the butter with 2 teaspoons of the fresh herbs and minced garlic. Chill the herbed butter in the fridge until the steaks are done cooking.
- Toss the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon of oil and the remaining teaspoon of herbs. Set aside.
- Add the steaks to the pre-warmed skillet and place it in the broiler. For steaks with a thickness of about 1 inch, aiming for medium doneness, cook for 4-6 minutes on this side.
- Remove the skillet from the oven. Flip the steaks over. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer without overlapping each other or the steaks. Place the skillet back in the oven.
- After about 4 minutes, start checking the steaks with a meat thermometer. An internal temperature of 140-145°F indicates medium doneness. The shrimp should also reach an internal temp of 140-145°F, and they should appear pink and opaque throughout as they curl into a gentle "C" shape.
- Remove the skillet from the oven when both the steaks and shrimp have reached their optimal internal temperature. Immediately place the herbed butter on top of the steak and shrimp.
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes. Plate and serve while hot.
