Mar y Tierra

Ingredients

Beef tenderloin

2 steaks (approximately 6-8 oz each)

Shrimp

1 pound, peeled and deveined

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Season the beef tenderloin steaks generously with salt, pepper, and minced garlic, ensuring they are well coated.
3. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; 130°F (54°C) is perfect for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
4. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness.
6. Drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Remove from heat.
7. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it becomes liquid. Stir in any remaining minced garlic for added flavor if desired.
8. To serve, place the grilled beef tenderloin steaks on a plate and top with the sautéed shrimp. Drizzle the melted garlic butter over the dish generously.
9. Garnish with additional chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
10. Enjoy your delicious Mar y Tierra with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad!
