Steak & Scallops Dinner

 

 

Ingredients:

* 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks

* 8–10 large sea scallops

* 2 tbsp olive oil

* 3 tbsp butter (divided)

* 3 cloves garlic, minced

* Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs

* Salt & black pepper, to taste

* Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Pat dry the steaks and scallops — moisture prevents a good sear. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil.

3. Sear the steaks for about 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness). Add 2 tbsp butter, garlic, and herbs. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste. Remove and rest.

4. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and sear scallops for about 1½–2 minutes per side until golden brown and opaque in the center.

5. Serve together, drizzle with garlic butter from the pan, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Perfect pairing: creamy mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus on the side 🍽️
