Treat your ingredients with care...
- Steak — Allow the steak to come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Shrimp — Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery. Grill them just until they turn pink and opaque.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the surf and turf before serving.
- Experiment with different herb combinations for the butter, such as rosemary or chives.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steak and shrimp on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler.
