Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 4 High-quality steaks (such as New York Strip, Ribeye, or Porterhouse) Choose fresh cuts for the best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Brush steaks lightly for a perfect sear.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper Essential seasoning; adjust to taste.
For the Shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter Adds rich flavor; ghee can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 8 ounces Large shrimp, deveined, tails on or off Fresh or thawed.
For the Sauce
  • 3/4 cup Low-sodium chicken broth Forms the base of the creamy sauce.
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream Delivers that luscious creaminess.
  • 5.2 ounces Boursin Cheese (garlic and herb variety) Key ingredient for elevating flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard Adds a zesty touch; feel free to omit.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) For garnish; chives can be used instead.

Equipment

  • Grill

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the high-quality steaks dry with paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Allow to come to room temperature.
  2. Preheat a cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and desired doneness is reached. Let them rest on a warm plate.
  3. In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter, add the large shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 2 minutes until pink and opaque. Set aside.
  4. Pour in a bit of the chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add remaining broth and heavy cream, then simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in Boursin cheese until melted, add Dijon mustard, and let sauce thicken for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the sautéed shrimp to the skillet, coat with the sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
  7. Plate the rested steaks, top with creamy shrimp and sauce, and drizzle extra sauce for presentation.
