How To Make Pioneer Woman Surf And Turf Skillet

1. Sear the steak and shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak fillets and shrimp with steak seasoning. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until well browned. Flip the steak, add the shrimp to the pan, and cook for another 2 minutes until the steak is medium-rare and the shrimp are cooked through. Remove both from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown.
3. Add the aromatics: Stir in the bell pepper, onion, garlic, Fresno chile, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring, until all the vegetables are tender.
4. Finish the skillet: Add the chopped kale and cook until it has wilted, about 2 minutes. Drizzle with honey and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine everything.
5. Combine and serve: Return the steak and shrimp to the skillet to warm through. Garnish with Romano cheese and fresh parsley. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, black pepper, and lemon zest for the sauce. Serve the skillet hot with the Lemon Pepper Mayo on the side.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get a perfect sear on the steak? The key is to pat the steak and shrimp completely dry with paper towels before seasoning. Moisture is the enemy of a good sear. Also, make sure your skillet is very hot before you add the meat.
• How do I keep from overcooking the shrimp? Jumbo shrimp cook very quickly, usually in just a couple of minutes. Add them to the pan after you’ve already flipped the steak. They are done as soon as they turn pink and opaque.
• Why let the meat rest? Even a few minutes of resting on a plate after cooking allows the juices in the steak and shrimp to redistribute, ensuring they are as tender and flavorful as possible.
• Can I cook the vegetables in a separate pan? For the most flavor, cook the vegetables in the same skillet after the steak and shrimp. They will pick up all the delicious browned bits (the “fond”) left in the pan, which adds a huge amount of flavor.

What To Serve With Surf And Turf Skillet

This is a complete one-pan meal, but it’s also delicious served with:

• Crusty bread for soaking up the pan sauce
• A side of fluffy white rice or couscous
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette

How To Store Surf And Turf Skillet

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the Lemon Pepper Mayo separately. Reheat: Reheat the skillet mixture gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Be careful not to overcook the steak and shrimp.
