How To Cook Surf And Turf Skillet :

Flip steak and add shrimp, cooking until the steak reaches your desired doneness (2 more minutes for medium-rare) and shrimp are cooked through. Remove steak and shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

4. Add More Veggies: Stir in bell pepper, onion, garlic, Fresno chile, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring as needed, until vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
5. Finish Skillet: Add chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drizzle with honey and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed. Return steak and shrimp to the skillet. Garnish with Romano cheese and parsley.

Recipe Tips

• Pat Steak and Shrimp Dry: Make sure to pat the tenderloin fillets and shrimp dry with paper towels before seasoning. This helps them brown better and prevents steaming in the skillet.
• Preheat the Skillet: Heat the skillet thoroughly before adding the steak. A hot skillet ensures a good sear on the meat and adds flavor.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the steak and shrimp in batches if necessary. Overcrowding can cause the ingredients to steam rather than sear, affecting the texture.
• Let Meat Rest: After cooking, let the steak and shrimp rest on a plate for a few minutes before cutting. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender.
• Adjust Seasoning Last: Taste the vegetables and sauce before adding the steak and shrimp back in. Adjust the seasoning if needed to enhance the flavors.
