Surf and Turf Steak with Creamy Garlic Shrimp Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 thick-cut beef steaks
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or rosemary, for garnish

Instructions

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the steaks. Sear for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and how you like them cooked.

Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest. This keeps them juicy.

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and tender. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Add the garlic to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Pour in the beef broth, then stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until it becomes silky and slightly thickened.

Return the shrimp to the sauce and gently coat them.

Spoon the creamy garlic shrimp sauce around or over the rested steaks. Serve warm.

Presentation

Place each steak on a plate and nestle the shrimp over the top or alongside it. Drizzle with plenty of creamy garlic sauce.

Finish with chopped parsley for freshness or a sprig of rosemary for a cozy, steakhouse look. Mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, or a simple green salad make beautiful sides.
