Ingredients

• 2 (8 oz) ribeye steaks
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 lb lobster meat, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

• Heavy skillet or cast-iron pan
• Tongs (for flipping the steaks)
• Small whisk or spoon (for stirring the sauce)
• Cutting board and knife (for prep work)

Ingredient Substitutions and Additions

• Steak: Feel free to swap ribeye for filet mignon, New York strip, or even a nice sirloin. Cooking times may vary depending on thickness.
• Seafood: No lobster on hand? No problem! You can use just shrimp, or even scallops, for a different take.
• Cheese: Parmesan adds a nutty flavor, but Romano or Asiago could work if you’re out.
• Add a kick: Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare and Cook the Steak

• Season steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering.
• Sear the steaks: Cook steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for a beautiful medium-rare finish. Adjust cooking time to your desired doneness.
• Rest the steaks: Remove steaks from the pan and set them aside to rest while you prepare the sauce.

2. Sauté the Garlic and Seafood

• In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add shrimp and lobster: Toss them into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

3. Make the Creamy Sauce

• Reduce the heat to medium, then pour in the heavy cream, stirring as it comes to a simmer.
• Add Parmesan cheese and butter: Stir gently until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Dish

• Serve steaks on a plate, then generously spoon the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce over the top.
• Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

What to Serve With Steak and Creamy Seafood Sauce

This dish pairs beautifully with:

• Garlic mashed potatoes or creamy polenta to soak up all that dreamy sauce.
• Roasted asparagus or broccolini for a vibrant, fresh contrast.

Tips for Success

• Room temperature steak: Let your steaks come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t rush the sauce: Simmer the sauce gently on medium heat to avoid curdling the cream.
• Rest the steak: Resting the steaks for a few minutes after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave at 50% power to avoid overcooking the seafood.
