Instructions:

1️⃣ Season the steak: Pat dry, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2️⃣ Sear to perfection: Heat olive oil in a hot pan, then sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side (adjust for preferred doneness). Add butter and baste. Remove from heat and let rest.

3️⃣ Cook the shrimp: Using the same pan, melt butter and sauté the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.
