Ingredients:
For the Steak:
2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)
For the Creamy Shrimp and Lobster Sauce:
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound lobster tail meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine (optional, for deglazing)
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Steak:
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the steaks. Sear each side for about 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness) until a golden-brown crust forms. For a medium-rare steak, cook for 4 minutes per side; adjust for your preferred doneness.
Add the minced garlic and rosemary sprig to the pan during the last minute of cooking to infuse the steak with additional flavor.
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Prepare the Shrimp and Lobster Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and lobster to the pan, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Optional: Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Combine the Steak and Sauce:
Once the sauce is ready, spoon it generously over the rested steaks. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve:
Serve the steak with creamy shrimp and lobster sauce immediately, paired with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
