Instructions

- 2Pat the top sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

- 6Continue cooking over medium heat for 2–3 minutes more until the shrimp are pink throughout and opaque in the center, with no translucent areas remaining.
- 7Toss the cooked shrimp in any remaining garlic butter from the pan, coating evenly.
- 8Divide the steak and shrimp evenly between 4 airtight containers while hot. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
