Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

Prep the Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
3. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Season

Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Toss until every piece is evenly coated.

Roast

Spread the potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 30–35 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.

Potatoes are done when they’re golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender inside.

Step 2: Prep the Green Beans

Wash & Trim

• Wash the green beans thoroughly.
• Trim off the stem ends.

Set aside until ready to cook.

Step 3: Prep the Steak

Bring to Room Temperature

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 15–20 minutes before cooking.

Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Dry steak develops a much better sear.

Cut & Season

Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes.

Season with:

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon onion powder

Toss until evenly coated.

Step 4: Prep the Shrimp

Thaw (If Using Frozen)

Place shrimp in a bowl of cold water for 15–20 minutes.

Drain and pat dry thoroughly.

Season

Lightly season with:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Paprika

Set aside.

Step 5: Cook the Green Beans

Sauté

While the potatoes roast:

1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the green beans.
3. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Green beans should be bright green and slightly tender while still having a little bite.

Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Step 6: Cook the Steak

Sear

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add:

• 1 tablespoon butter

Once hot, add the steak in a single layer.

Do not overcrowd the pan.

Cook:

• 2–3 minutes on the first side
• Flip
• 2–3 minutes on the second side

This will produce a medium doneness for most steak cubes.

Transfer steak to a plate.

Step 7: Cook the Shrimp

Using the same skillet:

Add:

• 1 tablespoon butter

Add the shrimp and cook:

• 2 minutes on the first side
• Flip
• 1–2 minutes on the second side

Shrimp are done when they’re pink and opaque.

Remove and set aside.

Step 8: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Build the Sauce

Reduce heat to medium.

Add:

• Remaining 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cook for 30–60 seconds, stirring constantly.

Do not let the garlic burn.

Finish the Surf & Turf

Return the steak and shrimp to the skillet.

Toss everything together until coated in the garlic butter sauce.

Cook for 1 additional minute.

Remove from heat.

Step 9: Assemble the Plates

Divide everything among 4 servings.

Each plate should include:

• Roasted potatoes
• Green beans
• Steak bites
• Garlic butter shrimp

Finish by spooning any extra garlic butter sauce from the skillet over the top.
