Cooking Instructions

  • Drizzle the steaks with olive oil then season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat then add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a good crust forms.
  • Add the butter, rosemary and garlic then baste the steaks with the butter. Tilt the pan to one side carefully then use a spoon to pour the aromatic butter over the steaks for another 2-3 minutes, or until the steaks are done to your preference.
  • Remove the steak from the pan, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest.
  • Season the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Add to the same pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Finally, make the sauce in the same pan by melting the butter and adding the garlic and oregano. Cook until fragrant then pour in the cream. Season with lemon, salt and pepper and allow to simmer for a few minutes until reduced slightly.
  • Add the shrimp and steaks back to the sauce and allow to reheat for a minute.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and asparagus or your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For the perfect steak doneness, cook the steaks until their internal temperature reaches the desired levels. Remember that the meat will continue cooking as it rests.
