If you have followed our blog for long you would already know these two things:
1) We raise beef cattle (and eat a lot of beef)
2) My three kids are picky eaters
There are less than a handful of meals I can make that all three kids will eat, yet alone enjoy. Since we raise cattle, our children are use to eating steaks. But don’t be confused…only grilled steaks are sufficient for their oh so refined palates. 😉 ha. However, with what feels like the longest winter in history, grilling season hasn’t shown its face in months. I came across this recipe last week and thought I would give it a try. Success! Not only did all three kids enjoy the steak, they also all tried the shrimp and now have added shrimp to their list of acceptable foods. Well, garlic butter shrimp that is.
Be sure to give this recipe a try, it is going on my rotation of non-grilling season recipes!
Garlic Butter Steak & Shrimp
Ingredients
- 2 Ribeye Steaks
- 10 oz shrimp deveined
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- salt and pepper
- Garlic butter mix:
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp thyme chopped or dried
- 1 tsp rosemary chopped or dried
- 1 scant tsp oregano (chopped or dried)
Instructions
- Mix together garlic butter and set aside (butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano)
- Heat a cast iron skillet on your stove over high heat. Grease the pan with olive oil and 1 Tbs butter being sure to brush the plates.
- Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks for 3 minutes each side until browned, reduce heat to medium and cooked to desired doneness, flipping to maintain even cooking. For medium it took me approx. 8 minutes. Transfer steaks to a warm plate and cover to keep warm
- While steaks are set aside and stove heat is at medium add your shrimp and garlic, cooking until opaque approx 3 min (depending on size and thickness of shrimp) flipping halfway through cook time.
- Add steaks back into skillet and slather steaks and shrimp with the garlic butter mixture.
- Enjoy
