Garlic Butter Shrimp and Asparagus with Steak 🥩🍤
Ingredients:
For the Steak:
2 rib-eye or filet mignon steaks (or your preferred cut)
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for garnish)
For the Garlic Butter Shrimp:
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
For the Asparagus:
1 lb fresh asparagus (trimmed)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Asparagus:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. Cook the Steak:
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Add the steaks to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. (For medium-rare, cook for 3 minutes per side.)
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the pan during the last minute of cooking. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Shrimp:
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and cooked through.
Add fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the shrimp. Toss to coat evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the Dish:
Plate the steak and asparagus, then top with the garlic butter shrimp.
Optional: Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor and a beautiful presentation.
