How to Make Garlic Butter Steak And Shrimp Skillet With Crispy Potato Coins

Step 1 — Prep Work
Begin by preparing the ingredients for this elegant skillet dish. Slice the steak into bite-sized pieces, peel and devein the shrimp, and thinly slice the potatoes into coins. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley for the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Step 2 — Main Cooking Process
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, taking care not to burn it. Carefully add the steak pieces to the skillet and cook until they develop a beautiful sear on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the seared steak from the skillet and set it aside.
Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté until they start to turn pink and curl, approximately 2-3 minutes. Return the seared steak to the skillet, along with the reserved garlic butter. Toss the ingredients together, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 3 — Final Steps/Assembly
In a separate skillet or on a baking sheet, arrange the potato coins in a single layer. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the potato coins in a preheated oven until they are crispy and golden-brown, about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Once the steak, shrimp, and potato coins are ready, it’s time to assemble the dish. Arrange the crispy potato coins on a serving platter or in a shallow bowl. Top the potatoes with the garlic butter steak and shrimp mixture, ensuring that the delicious sauce coats the entire dish.
Step 4 — Finishing Touches
Garnish the Garlic Butter Steak and Shrimp Skillet with Crispy Potato Coins with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, adding a touch of elegance and brightness to the presentation.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Indulgent Twist: For an even more indulgent experience, consider adding a dollop of creamy mascarpone cheese to the garlic butter sauce, creating a luxurious and luscious flavor profile.
- Potato Variations: Experiment with different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes, to add a unique twist to the crispy potato coins.
- Serving Suggestions: To enhance the cozy and comforting nature of this dish, you can serve it over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or creamy polenta, allowing the garlic butter sauce to soak into the accompaniment.
- Vegetable Additions: If you prefer a heartier meal, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions to the skillet, further elevating the depth of flavors. For a touch of freshness, a side salad with a bright, acidic dressing can provide a delightful contrast to the rich and satisfying main dish.
