Ingredients

Steaks

  • 4 New York strip steaks (Porterhouse steaks)
  • 1 pinch salt (to season)
  • 1 pinch pepper (to season)
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Creamy Garlic Shrimp Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 8 ounces shrimp (deveined, tails on or off)
  • 4 cloves garlic (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (thickened cream)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (fresh shredded)
  • 1 pinch salt (to taste)
  • 1 pinch pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and season steaks: Pat the New York strip steaks dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of each steak evenly with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Sear or grill the steaks: Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add olive oil if using skillet. Place the steaks on the hot surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
  3. Set steaks aside: Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a warm plate and cover loosely to keep warm while you prepare the shrimp sauce.
  4. Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the shrimp, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sear for about 2 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. If using a grill, brush the shrimp with melted butter and grill until done. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
  5. Sauté garlic: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic. If previously grilling, use a skillet or pan for this step.
  6. Deglaze the pan: Pour in the white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth) and let it reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate flavor into the sauce.
  7. Prepare the cream sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Stir in the shredded parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Combine shrimp and sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly with the creamy garlic sauce.
  9. Serve: Plate the steaks and spoon the creamy garlic shrimp sauce over or alongside them. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • For a lower alcohol option, substitute white wine with low-sodium chicken broth.
  • Keep steaks warm by tenting with foil while preparing the sauce.
  • Butter must be unsalted to better control the seasoning of the sauce.
  • Fresh parsley adds freshness but can be omitted or substituted with chives if desired.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
