Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ pound NY Strip Steak
- ½ pound jumbo shrimp
- ½ pound linguine
Cooking Fats:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon high-smoke-point oil
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- ½ teaspoon garlic
- ⅓ cup white wine or chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons parsley
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Boil 4 quarts of water in a large pot. Add ½ pound linguine and salt generously. Cook for 7 minutes until pasta reaches al dente texture. Drain and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Saute for 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Introduce ½ pound peeled shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until shrimp turn pink.
- Transfer shrimp to a separate plate. Pour ⅓ cup white wine and 3 tablespoons lemon juice into the same skillet. Simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove skillet from heat. Mix in 3 tablespoons chopped parsley. Toss linguine and shrimp back into the sauce.
- Pat your ½ pound NY strip steak dry with paper towels. Season with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat cast-iron skillet until smoking hot. Brush steak with ½ tablespoon high-smoke-point oil.
- Sear steak for 3-4 minutes on each side. Achieve your preferred doneness using a meat thermometer.
- Mix 1 tablespoon butter with ½ teaspoon minced garlic. Brush over hot steak.
- Let steak rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
- Plate linguine with shrimp and arrange steak slices on top. Garnish with extra parsley.
Notes
- Invest in high-quality shrimp and steak to elevate the entire dish’s flavor profile and ensure tender, succulent results.
- Salt the pasta water generously to enhance the base seasoning and help the linguine absorb more flavor during cooking.
- When searing the steak, ensure your cast-iron pan is scorching hot to create a beautiful golden-brown crust that locks in the meat’s juices.
- For a lighter version, swap butter with olive oil and use a lean cut of steak like sirloin to reduce overall fat content.
