Instructions
 

Steak

  • Pat Chuck Eye Steak dry using a paper towel. Season both sides with 1 tablespoon of Garlic Herb Seasoning, 1 tsp Onion Powder, Salt & Pepper. Set aside and let seasonings marinate into meat for a few minutes.
  • Heat large Cast Iron pan or Skillet on medium/high heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of Butter and a drizzle of Olive Oil into Skillet.
  • Once Butter begins to sizzle, gently place Chuck Eye Steaks into Skillet and sear 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and it is cooked to desired doneness.
  • Remove and set aside on a plate and cover them to keep them warm.

Sweet Potatoes

  • Pierce Sweet Potatoes a few times with a fork. Microwave Sweet Potatoes for 5 minutes. If you prefer to bake them and have the time to do so, then by all means bake them.
  • Once Sweet Potatoes are cooked through, peel and slice them.
  • Using the same Skillet you cooked Steak in, reheat on medium and place 1 tablespoon of Butter and a drizzle of Olive Oil into Skillet.
  • When Butter is Sizzling, add sliced Sweet Potatoes in one layer.
  • Add a pinch of Cinnamon and Salt & Pepper over top.
  • Sear them for a couple of minutes until golden brown and caramelized at the bottom and flip over to continue to caramelize other side. You may add additional Cinnamon and Salt & Pepper if you feel it is needed but not necessary. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Green Beans

  • Using the same Skillet or a new one, heating Skillet on medium, add 1 tablespoon of Butter and a drizzle of Olive Oil.
  • Once the Butter is sizzling, add chopped Rosemary and stir to infuse the flavor into it.
  • Add fresh Green Beans, 1 tablespoon of Garlic Herb Seasoning, Lemon Pepper, 1 teaspoon Onion Power, a pinch of Salt & Pepper into Skillet and stir to incorporate seasonings. Sauté Green Beans to desired doneness for approximately 5-10 minutes stirring periodically. Remove and set aside.

Shrimp

  • Add 1 tablespoon of Butter and a drizzle of Olive Oil into Skillet.
  • Once Butter is melted, add Shrimp and a pinch of Salt & Pepper and cook Shrimp until it is no longer translucent about 2-3 minutes on each side. Should be pink and succulent when completely cooked. Do not overcook as this will cause your Shrimp to be tough and chewy.

Garlic Butter

  • Place 2 tablespoons Butter, Minced Garlic, 1 tablespoon of Garlic Herb Seasoning and a pinch of Salt into a very small bowl. Microwave for 10 seconds to soften Butter. Stir to incorporate all the seasonings.

Assemble

  • Place a few slices of Sweet Potatoes on bottom of a dish. Slice your Steak thinly and place over Sweet Potatoes. Place 4 cooked Shrimp on top of Steak and drizzle Garlic Butter over top. Garnish with chopped Cilantro or Parsley and enjoy.
  • Notation: I created this dish using one Skillet. You can cut time by using multiple and multitasking cooking items at the same time.
