Enjoy an incredible surf & turf dinner at home. Omaha Steaks 5th generation owner, Todd Simon, is sharing his favorite seafood and steak recipe: Herb Butter New York Strip Steak with Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp and Spicy Buttered Broccolini.
Prepping the Steak
Start with completely thawed steaks, using the refrigerator or quick-thaw method, then season with coarse salt and fresh black pepper. Keep the seasoning simple to allow the natural flavors of the beef be the star. Private Reserve New York Strip Steaks have incredible, bold beefy flavors with rich marbling, and are extra-aged 28 days for maximum tenderness. Allow the seasoned steaks to sit at room temperature for approximately one hour to ensure a more even cook.
Compound Butter
The compound butter can be made in advance or while your steak is coming to room temperature. This butter is a perfect finish and will add incredible flavors to your dish. To make the compound butter, add room temperature butter, lemon zest, parsley, garlic, black pepper, kosher salt, thyme, and lemon juice, and blend. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days if making in advance.
Sear Roasting the Steaks
The sear-roasting method is ideal for thicker steaks to achieve a perfect medium-rare. Start the cooking process by searing the steak in pre-heated oven-proof pan with grapeseed oil for a few minutes per side. This gives you that great crust and adds flavor.
Then, to finish the steak, you’ll place the entire pan in a pre-heated 300°F oven and roast until the internal temperature is about 130°F for medium-rare steak doneness. This will take about 10 minutes, but you really want to measure doneness by temperature using a meat thermometer. Refer to our steak doneness guide and temperature guide to cook to your desired doneness.
Once the steaks have cooked to your ideal doneness, remove from the oven and pan, and rest for at least 5-10 minutes. Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute for an even more tender and juicy steak.
Making the Spicy Buttered Broccolini
Spicy, buttered broccolini is a delicious and simple vegetable side dish to pair with your surf and turf dinner. While the steak is cooking in the oven, you can prepare the broccolini. Start by blanching the broccolini for a few minutes in salt and drain. In a hot skillet, add oil and garlic, then blanched broccolini, butter, pepper flakes, and salt, and sauté briefly to blend the flavors. Set aside while you cook the shrimp.
Cooking the Argentinian Wild Red Shrimp
Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp taste like lobster and cook quicker than other shrimp, making it a perfect seafood companion to any steak dinner. Sautéing the shrimp for this recipe couldn’t be easier! Using the same pan as broccolini, add olive oil, butter and Omaha Steaks Seafood Seasoning and sauté the red shrimp. Shrimp is fully cooked when the meat is opaque with a firm texture.
To serve your surf and turf dinner, slice the steak, add sautéed shrimp and broccolini to the plate. Spoon the compound butter on the steak and shrimp. Enjoy!
