Instructions

1. Step 1: Pat dry 12 oz ribeye steak and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear steak for 4 minutes on the first side without moving, then flip and cook for 3 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steak and let rest.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter along with 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp fresh parsley. Stir until fragrant and melted, then spoon the garlic-herb butter over the steak.
3. Step 3: In a separate pan, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 peeled and deveined large shrimp with 2 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice and stir to coat, cooking for 30 seconds more.
4. Step 4: Serve the rested steak topped with garlic-herb butter alongside the sautéed shrimp garnished with remaining parsley.
