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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
