Ingredients
4 servings
- •6 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- •4 Garlic(12g)
- •1 tbsp Parsley, Fresh
- •1 tbsp Olive oil
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •4 Beef, New York Strip Steak(1360g)
- •1 1 pinch salt
- •1 1 pinch pepper
- •8 oz Shrimp
Instructions
- 1Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of the butter, the minced garlic, and the chopped fresh parsley. Set the garlic butter aside.
- 2Brush the New York strip steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 3Grill the steaks over high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until deep char marks form and the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare (or your preferred doneness). Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes.
- 4While the steaks rest, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet or on the grill over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and season with salt and pepper.
- 5Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they curl, turn pink throughout, and are opaque in the center with no translucent areas remaining.
- 6Add half of the garlic butter to the shrimp in the pan and toss to coat evenly. Spread the remaining garlic butter over the rested steaks.
- 7Divide the steaks and shrimp evenly into 4 meal-prep containers while hot. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
