How to Bring It All Together
Step 1: Cook the Ribeye
Let your steak come to room temp. Season generously with salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat with olive oil. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, adding 1 tbsp butter during the last minute to baste. Cook to your desired doneness (about 125°F for medium-rare). Let rest, then top with garlic or herb butter.
Step 2: Sauté the Shrimp
Toss shrimp with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Sauté in butter or olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through. Optional: squeeze over some fresh lemon juice to brighten the heat.
Step 3: Roast the Asparagus
Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Roast in a 425°F (220°C) oven for 12–15 minutes until tender-crisp with charred edges.
Step 4: Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Boil cubed potatoes until fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes). Drain well.
Mash with butter, cream or milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 5: Bake the Biscuit
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
Add buttermilk and stir just until combined. Pat dough into a disc, cut into rounds, and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden.
Brush with melted butter for that steakhouse finish.
Step 6: Plate It Like a Pro
Place the ribeye steak front and center. Top with a pile of spicy shrimp. Add a side of roasted asparagus, a scoop of mashed potatoes, and a warm buttery biscuit.
Optional upgrade: Spoon over a quick garlic-shallot pan sauce, or a simple shrimp cream drizzle for extra steakhouse drama.
