Tips for Perfect Surf and Turf Every Time
For the best results, opt for fresh, high-quality steak and shrimp. The better the ingredients, the better the flavor.
Don’t skip resting your steak after cooking. It helps retain the juices for a tender, flavorful bite.
A cast-iron skillet ensures an even sear on the steak, adding a beautiful caramelized crust.
Add more herbs or a touch of lemon zest to the butter for an extra burst of flavor.
This meal is best enjoyed fresh, so be sure to have everything ready to serve as soon as it’s cooked.
Serve with Your Favorite Drink
Pair this surf and turf with a nice bottle of red wine or a crisp white for the ultimate dining experience. If you're not into wine, a refreshing sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon also complements the flavors perfectly.
