SURF AND TURF made in less than 30 min! The steak + scallops are so perfectly cooked with the best garlic butter sauce!
Prep Time
• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Cook time: 15 minutes
• Yield: Serves 2
Ingredients
• 2 (1 1/2 inch thick) beef tenderloin fillets (about 6 to 8 ounces)
• 3 tbsps unsalted butter, divided
• 8-10 large sea scallops
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 tbsps unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 tbsps chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 2 tbsps chopped fresh chives
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tsps lemon zest
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
- Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat for 8-10 minutes.
- Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Place the steaks in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 4-6 minutes. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness; set aside, loosely covered.
- While the steak rests, wipe the skillet clean and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Season scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
- To make the garlic butter sauce, reduce heat to low; add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in butter, parsley, chives, lemon juice and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve steak and scallops immediately with garlic butter sauce.
