Tender Steak Bites and Juicy Shrimp in Garlic Butter

Ingredients:

• 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your preferred cut), cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on or off, depending on preference)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak and Shrimp:

   • Season the steak bites with salt and black pepper on all sides.
   • Season the shrimp with a little salt and pepper as well, and set aside.

2. Cook the Steak Bites:

   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned on all sides but still tender. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.

3. Cook the Shrimp:

   • In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
   • Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
   • Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the steak.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
   • Add the steak bites and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together in the garlic butter for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the steak bites and shrimp to soak up the butter sauce.

5. Finish and Serve:

   • Squeeze a little lemon juice over the dish (optional) for some brightness.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve these Tender Steak Bites and Juicy Shrimp over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice, or even with a side of sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
• You can also serve it as an appetizer or a topping for salads.

This dish is packed with flavor from the garlic butter and herbs, and the combination of steak and shrimp makes it extra indulgent! Enjoy! 🥩🍤🧄
