GARLIC BUTTER GRILLED STEAK AND SHRIMP
In case you couldn’t tell, we love garlic butter here. Demonstrated in our garlic butter baked salmon, garlic butter shrimp scampi and our crispy garlic butter smashed potatoes, we are more than generous with our use of garlic butter. This grilled steak and shrimp recipe is no exception with lashings of garlic butter taking this steak to a whole other level.
HOW TO COOK GRILLED STEAK AND SHRIMP
- Set up the grill — at least 15 minutes before you start grilling. Start with clean grill plates to prevent steaks from sticking when flipping.
- Preheat grill or barbecue — Your grill needs to be HOT! At least 450°F (230°C) to get a good sear and a crispy edges. Find the hottest areas by carefully and slowly waving your hand 6 inches above the grill plates.
- Lightly oil — Using tongs, lightly grease grill plates with a folded paper towel dipped in oil.
- Pat steaks dry — Let steaks sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes, then pat dry with paper towel to ensure the perfect sear. Season with salt and pepper, plus anything else you like: paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, etc.
- Flip with tongs — Use a pair of tongs instead of a barbecue fork to avoid piercing holes in the meat and releasing crucial juices. Flip only once during cook time to give them time to form that beautiful crust. You’ll know they are ready when they easily lift off the grill.
- Slather with garlic butter — the BEST part about this recipe. You can grill your steaks and slather them in our delicious garlic butter, infusing them with heaps of flavour. You’re going to use half here, saving the rest for your shrimp.
- Rest — Allow steaks to rest for a good five minutes before slicing to let the juices settle before serving.
While steaks are resting, grill your shrimp, brushing them with the remaining butter. Get ready for a flavour explosion.
HOW LONG TO GRILL STEAK
- Rare steaks. Soft textured steaks that maintain an indent when pressed will be rare — 140°F (60°C) internal temperature
- Medium-rare steaks. Steaks with a soft and springy feel will be medium rare — 145°F (63°) internal temperature
- Medium steaks. Steaks with a springy feel will be medium (bounce back up fast) — 160°F (70°) internal temperature
- Well done steaks. Firm steaks are well done — 170°F (76°) internal temperature
I recommend removing steaks off the grill when they are around 5° below desired doneness as they continue cooking while resting!
HOW TO COOK SHRIMP
Reduce heat to medium and grill your shrimp for 5-6 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of your shrimp). Flip each shrimp halfway through cook time, grilling until they turn nice and pink in colour while white and opaque on the inside.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH STEAK AND SHRIMP
Try pairing your grilled steak and shrimp with grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes or buttery sautéed green beans. Grilled Brussels sprouts, zucchini or broccolini are also good!
WHAT WINE GOES WELL WITH STEAK AND SHRIMP?
I choose a white wine to go with this. A light Chardonnay or Pinot Gris pairs really well. I also love a chilled glass of Rosé.
