Step-by-Step Instructions for Savory Steak Bites and Shrimp

Step 1: Preparing the Steak Bites

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Sear the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt.
  3. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 2: Preparing the Shrimp

  1. Season the Shrimp: In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp and stir to coat evenly. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Combining the Steak and Shrimp

  1. Return the steak bites to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for about 1 minute over low heat.
  2. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
