Description
A quick, one-pan weeknight dinner featuring seared ribeye steak and shrimp in a rich garlic butter sauce. Ready in just 15 minutes with restaurant-quality flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6–8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons high-heat oil (avocado or grapeseed)
Instructions
- Pat steak cubes and shrimp dry with paper towels. Season steak generously with salt and pepper; lightly season shrimp.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Once shimmering, add steak cubes in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).
- Sear steak for 2 minutes per side until browned but still rare to medium-rare inside. Remove steak to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp to the plate with the steak.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant but not brown.
- Pour in white wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up brown bits. Simmer for 1 minute.
- Return steak and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and stir for 30 seconds to warm through.
- Serve immediately, spooning extra sauce over the top.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan to ensure a proper sear rather than steaming. Pat all proteins dry before cooking. Use high-heat oil like avocado or grapeseed for searing; avoid olive oil as it burns easily. Rest the meat on the plate while making the sauce to redistribute juices. Minced garlic burns quickly, so keep heat at medium-low and stir constantly when adding it.
