Ingredients
  

  • For the Steaks:
  • 4 high-quality steaks New York Strip, Ribeye, or Porterhouse
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For the Shrimp:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces large shrimp deveined, tails on or off
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 5.2-ounce/150g package Boursin Cheese (garlic and herb variety), softened
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Brush them lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.Preheat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Transfer to a warm plate and set aside.In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sear until pink and just cooked, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and set aside.Deglaze the skillet with a small amount of chicken broth, then add the remaining broth and heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Add the Boursin cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce. Stir in the Dijon mustard and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.Return the shrimp to the pan, sprinkle with parsley, and stir to combine. Serve alongside the steaks.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, let your steaks come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Resting the steaks after cooking ensures they retain their juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
