Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz steak, sliced
- 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing bell pepper and zucchini into thin, uniform strips. Pat steak and shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
- Season sliced steak with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage on all sides of the meat.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering but not smoking.
- Add steak slices to the hot pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time based on desired doneness. Remove steak and set aside on a warm plate to rest.
- In the same pan, add sliced bell peppers and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
- Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the pan with vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Slice rested steak against the grain into thin strips for optimal tenderness.
- Arrange cooked vegetables and shrimp in a bowl, top with sliced steak, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Meat Preparation: Always pat your steak and shrimp dry before cooking to ensure a perfect sear and prevent steaming.
- Temperature Control: Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and better caramelization.
- Cooking Sequence: Cook proteins and vegetables separately to maintain individual flavors and prevent overcooking.
- Slicing Technique: Always slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Seasoning Secrets: Don't be shy with salt and pepper—they're key to bringing out the natural flavors of your proteins.
- Timing is Critical: Shrimp cook quickly, so add them last to prevent rubbery texture.
- Resting Meat: Allow steak to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices and ensure optimal flavor.
