SURF AND TURF: STEAK AND SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mash together the butter, garlic rosemary, thyme and parsley. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
• If possible, take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, to let them come to room temperature.
• Brush steaks on both sides with olive oil. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper, patting to help the seasonings stick.
• Heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until very hot.
• Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip and cook for 2-7 minutes, until done to your liking.* Rare: 120 degrees (49 degrees C), 1-2 minutes* Medium Rare: 130 degrees (54 degrees C), 2-4 minutes* Medium: 140 degrees (60 degrees C), 4-6 minutes* Medium Well: 150 degrees (66 degrees C), 6-8 minutes* Well Done: 160 degrees (71 degrees C), 8-10 minutes
• Remove the steaks from the pan. Cover to let them rest and keep them warm.
• Turn off heat. Wait for the pan to stop smoking, then lightly wipe down the pan if it has any pieces left.
• With the heat off but while the pan is still hot, add 2 tablespoons of garlic butter in smaller chunks. (Reserve the rest of the garlic butter for the steaks later.) Move the butter pieces around as they melt, so that the melted butter coats the pan evenly.
• Once butter melts, turn on heat to medium. Quickly add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-3 minutes per side, until opaque and golden.
• Serve steaks with a pat (1 tablespoon) of garlic butter on top. Serve shrimp alongside the steaks, with garlic butter from the pan poured over them, and a squeeze of lemon, if desired.

SURF AND TURF FOR TWO

Steps:

• Make the herb oil: Pulse the parsley, chives and olive oil in a mini food processor until smooth. Thin with water, if necessary, and add 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and set aside. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead.)
• Prepare the surf and turf: Toss the shrimp, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped thyme, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of pancetta. Preheat the broiler. Arrange the shrimp on a foil-lined broiler pan. Season the beef with sea salt and pepper, press the thyme sprigs into the meat and set aside. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Put the asparagus in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water and a pinch of sea salt. Heat a medium ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the butter. When the foam subsides, sear the beef until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, hold the meat and brown the sides. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until a thermometer inserted into the beef registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest while you cook the shrimp.
• Broil the shrimp until the pancetta is crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, microwave the asparagus until tender, about 2 minutes. Slice the beef into 4 pieces. Serve with the shrimp, herb oil and asparagus.
