Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 12 oz ribeye steak and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place steak and sear for 4 minutes without moving, then flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steak and let rest.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium; add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant, then add 8 oz shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp softened butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Top the rested steak with this garlic herb butter to melt.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the shrimp with 1 tbsp lemon juice and sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Serve the steak alongside sautéed shrimp immediately.
