Instructions
-
Garlic Butter Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the parsley. Tip: A microplane gives the smoothest garlic for compound butter.
-
Garlic Butter Mash the softened unsalted butter with the garlic and parsley until evenly blended. Tip: Butter should be soft, not melted — leave it at room temp 20 min.
-
Garlic Butter Refrigerate the compound butter until firm, at least 15 minutes. Tip: Roll into a log on parchment for clean slices later.
-
Steak Preheat a grill or heavy cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Tip: The pan is ready when a drop of water skitters and evaporates instantly.
-
Steak Pat the NY strip steaks completely dry with paper towels. Tip: Dry surface is the single biggest factor for a brown crust.
-
Steak Brush steaks with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Steak Grill steaks 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (54°C / 130°F internal). Tip: Use a probe thermometer — visual cues lie on thick steaks.
-
Steak Top each steak with a slice of compound butter; rest 5 minutes on a warm plate. Tip: Resting lets juices redistribute — slicing early loses them.
-
Shrimp While steaks rest, melt the remaining compound butter in a small pan.
-
Shrimp Season the peeled, deveined shrimp with salt and pepper.
-
Shrimp Reduce grill heat to medium and cook shrimp 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Tip: Pull at first sign of opacity — shrimp turn rubbery in seconds if overdone.
-
Shrimp Toss cooked shrimp in the melted garlic butter to coat.
-
Serve Plate steaks and pile shrimp alongside; spoon any pan butter over the top. Tip: A squeeze of lemon brightens the richness without competing.
