Steak and Seafood Skillet with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce – Page 2

Gather the following ingredients to create this decadent dish:

For the Skillet:
- 1 pound sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces scallops (or any seafood of your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions for Steak and Seafood Skillet with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak pieces and sear for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside with the steak.

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer, stirring constantly. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.

Return the cooked steak and seafood to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce until well coated. Let it simmer together for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, paired with your choice of sides.

Choose Quality Ingredients: Fresh seafood and high-quality steak will make a significant difference in flavor and texture.
Don’t Overcook: Be mindful of cooking times for both the steak and seafood to ensure they remain tender and juicy.
Customize the Seafood: Feel free to swap the shrimp and scallops for your favorite seafood, like lobster, crab, or even fish fillets.
Serve with Sides: This dish pairs beautifully with garlic bread, rice, or a fresh garden salad.

Refrigeration: Store any leftover steak and seafood in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, being careful not to overcook the seafood.
Freezing: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the cooked steak and seafood in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Steak and Seafood Skillet with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce pairs wonderfully with:

Starch: Creamy mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, or pasta will soak up the delicious sauce.
Vegetables: Lightly steamed asparagus, broccoli, or green beans add color and nutrition to the plate.
Wine: A crisp white wine like Chardonnay or a light red like Pinot Noir complements the rich flavors of the dish beautifully.
