Instructions:
-
Saute Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are softened and fragrant.
-
-
Prepare Broth Mixture: Pour in the beef broth and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare Steaks: Make a lengthwise slit in each beef tenderloin steak, cutting about 3/4 of the way through. Stuff each slit with 3 shrimp, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Cook Steaks: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Warm over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly. Carefully place the stuffed steaks in the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. For medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of about 145°F (63°C).
-
Serve: Once the steaks are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon some of the flavorful broth mixture over the top of each steak, allowing the juices to soak in. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
-
Optional Grilling: To prepare this dish on the grill, follow the same steps for sautéing the onion and garlic in a skillet. Reserve the broth mixture for later use. Stuff the steaks with shrimp as instructed, then grill them over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a serving platter and pour the reserved broth mixture over them before serving.
Tips:
- For a boost of flavor, marinate the steaks in your favorite steak seasoning or marinade for an hour before cooking.
- Serve Surf-n-Turf Tenderloins alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
- Customize the recipe by adding additional herbs and spices to the broth mixture, such as thyme, rosemary, or crushed red pepper flakes, to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure the shrimp are cooked through by checking that they have turned pink and opaque before serving.
- Use a sharp knife to make the lengthwise slit in the steaks, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.
- For a complete meal, pair this dish with a glass of red wine or your favorite beverage of choice.
