Ingredients:
2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
For the Garlic Shrimp:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Onion Strings:
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Onion Strings
Soak the thinly sliced onion in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dredge the soaked onion slices in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Fry the onions in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Ribeye Steaks
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Rub the steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Grill or sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the garlic and rosemary over the steaks.
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Garlic Shrimp
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 4: Serve
Plate the ribeye steaks alongside the garlic shrimp.
Top the steaks with crispy onion strings.
Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy a luxurious meal.
