Method
Steak
- 1
Bring steak to room temperature
Remove the New York strip from the refrigerator 30–45 minutes before cooking so it comes closer to room temperature. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Preheat pan
Heat a heavy skillet (cast-iron preferred) over medium-high heat until very hot, about 3–5 minutes. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and swirl to coat; the oil should shimmer and lightly smoke.

Baste and finish
Reduce heat to medium, add 1 tbsp unsalted butter, the thyme sprigs, and the crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the steak continuously with the melted butter and aromatics for 1–2 minutes to infuse flavor and finish cooking.
- 6
Rest
Transfer steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest 7–10 minutes before slicing so juices redistribute.

Sear garlic
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Add 3 tbsp minced garlic and cook 20–30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Cook shrimp
Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer and cook 1.5–2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque and have a slight sear. Avoid overcooking.

Finish sauce
Remove pan from heat, stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Spoon the garlic-butter sauce and shrimp over the steak on the plate or serve alongside.

Prepare starch and vegetables
If serving rice, cook according to package directions. For mashed potatoes, boil peeled potatoes until tender, mash with butter and a splash of milk, and season to taste. For grilled vegetables, toss assorted vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper, and grill or roast at 425°F (220°C) until tender and slightly charred, 12–18 minutes.
