Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound steak
- 1 pound shrimp
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Dairy and Sauces:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Generously coat the entire 1-pound steak with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, ensuring even seasoning across all surfaces.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet to 400°F and cook the steak for 5 minutes on the first side, developing a rich golden-brown crust.
- Flip the steak and cook an additional 5-7 minutes, aiming for medium-rare internal temperature of 135°F.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat, creating a smooth cooking surface.
- Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30-45 seconds until their aroma becomes fragrant and golden.
- Add 1 pound shrimp to the skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes until they turn completely pink and curl slightly.
- Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the skillet, stirring continuously and simmering for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
- Arrange steak slices on a plate and generously top with creamy garlic shrimp.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Salt the steak generously before cooking for a flavorful crust that locks in juices.
- Let the steak rest after cooking so the meat’s internal juices redistribute, keeping it tender and moist.
- Use fresh garlic for the most vibrant flavor in the creamy sauce, avoiding pre-minced options from jars.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk to reduce calories while maintaining richness.
