Surf & Turf Ingredients

    Season the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Add the ribeye steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Add butter and lemon juice, stirring to coat the shrimp. Cook for an additional minute.
