Description

Juicy sirloin steak meets buttery garlic shrimp in this restaurant-style Surf & Turf Plate that’s easy enough for a weeknight and fancy enough for guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sirloin steaks (8 oz each)
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Season the steak with salt and pepper.
  3. Add olive oil to the pan and let it shimmer before placing in the steak.
  4. If using, skewer the shrimp and set aside.
  5. Sear the steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, basting with butter and garlic in the final minute. Let it rest.
  6. Cook shrimp 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.
  7. Plate the steak and shrimp together, drizzle with remaining garlic butter, and sprinkle with parsley.
  8. Serve hot with lemon wedges and sides of choice.

Notes

  • Let the steak sit at room temperature before cooking to ensure even doneness.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp or they’ll become rubbery.
  • For extra flavor, use compound butter with herbs or garlic.
