Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Shrimp
  • 1 lbs Ribeye Steak This cut ensures a rich flavor and tender bite; feel free to substitute with your favorite steak cuts for variety.
  • 16 extra-large Shrimp Choose deveined shrimp for convenience; ensure they are thawed and dried for the best sear.
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter Softened butter adds richness to the dish; use the divided amounts strategically for flavor layering.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Finely chopped; fresh garlic brings aromatic notes to the dish; don't skip this for that signature taste.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Chopped; adds a fresh burst of color and flavor; can be omitted for those who prefer a simpler dish.
For Cooking
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil Divided; used to cook the steak and shrimp, this oil adds healthy fats; avocado oil is a great substitute if desired.
  • 12 spears Asparagus Trimmed; this veggie adds color and texture; feel free to swap with green beans or broccoli for variety.
  • Sea Salt To taste; essential for enhancing flavors; be generous but taste as you go for the best result.

Equipment

  • Grill or Cast Iron Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thaw the Shrimp: Begin by thawing the shrimp 30 minutes prior to cooking. Place your deveined shrimp in a bowl of cold water to expedite the process, ensuring they are fully thawed and patted dry afterwards.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: Mix 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter with the finely chopped garlic and fresh parsley in a small bowl. Stir thoroughly until well combined, then refrigerate this flavorful garlic butter mixture until it’s time to drizzle it over your completed dish.
  3. Preheat the Cooking Equipment: Preheat a grill or cast iron skillet over high heat for about 5 minutes, lightly greasing it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Prepare the Ribeye Steak: Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season well with sea salt.
  5. Sear the Steak: Place the seasoned ribeye steak in the hot skillet and sear it for 3-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness.
  6. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, spread 1 tablespoon of garlic butter over the top, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  7. Sauté the Asparagus: In the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté asparagus for about 5 minutes.
  8. Season and Transfer Asparagus: After sautéing, season the asparagus with sea salt and remove from skillet.
  9. Cook the Shrimp: Wipe down the skillet and heat remaining butter and olive oil. Add shrimp, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink.
  10. Slice and Serve: Slice the rested ribeye steak against the grain, combine with the sautéed asparagus and shrimp, and drizzle remaining garlic butter over the top. Serve immediately.
