Ingredients
For the Surf and Turf
- 1 lb ribeye steak (or your favorite cut)
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic (minced) No judgment on breath!
- 1 cup heavy cream Go for the richness!
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Grated Parmesan cheese to taste
- A pinch of red pepper flakes For those who like a little kick!
Instructions
Cooking the Steak
- Season your ribeye steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached. Let it rest while you prep the rest.
Cooking the Shrimp
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn a lovely pink color and are cooked through. Remove and set on a plate.
Making the Garlic Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Then, slowly pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
- Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir until combined, then toss in some grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, letting it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combining and Serving
- Slice your rested steak, and arrange it on a platter alongside the shrimp. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over everything and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a little extra sophistication, try adding a splash of white wine to the sauce while it simmers.
