Surf and Turf with Creamy Garlic Sauce: A Culinary Delight

Indulge in Surf and Turf with Creamy Garlic Sauce! Tender steak, juicy shrimp, and a rich sauce for the ultimate gourmet dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Steak:
  • 2 tenderloin filets (6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • For the Shrimp:
  • 12 shrimp, deveined and peeled
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon each: salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak:
  2. Remove the steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Steak:
  4. Heat a skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Sear the steaks until golden brown on one side, about 8 minutes.
  5. Flip the steaks, add butter, garlic slices, and rosemary. Reduce the heat to medium to prevent the butter from burning.
  6. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for another 8 minutes, cooking to a medium-rare or medium doneness (about 125°F).
  7. Remove the steaks from the skillet, wrap in foil, and let them rest for 10–15 minutes.
  8. Prepare the Shrimp:
  9. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  10. Using the same skillet, add a little olive oil and cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes, or until they turn opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  11. Make the Sauce:
  12. Lower the heat to medium-low and add butter to the skillet.
  13. Stir in the soy sauce and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits to deglaze the pan.
  14. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, then sprinkle in red pepper flakes.
  15. Assemble and Serve:
  16. Place the steak on top of the shrimp and drizzle the sauce over the top.
  17. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  18. Serve with your choice of potatoes and vegetables for a complete meal.
  19. Tips:
  20. Adjust cooking times based on your steak thickness and preferred doneness.
  21. The red pepper flakes can be reduced or omitted for less heat.
