Steak, shrimp & fried cabbage plate
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Steak (sirloin or ribeye), seasoned to perfection
- 1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ head Green cabbage, chopped or shredded 🥬
- 3 tbsp Butter 🧈
- 2 tbsp Olive oil 🫒
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika & 1 tsp Onion powder ✨
- Salt & Coarse black pepper 🧂🖤
- Optional: Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish 🎋
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sizzle the Steak: Pat your steak dry and season heavily with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet with olive oil, sear the steak for 3–5 minutes per side (depending on your preferred doneness). Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. 🥩🔥⏲️
- Zesty Shrimp: In the same skillet, add a little more oil and the shrimp. Season with paprika and half of the minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Set aside. 🍤🍤✨
- The Main Event (The Cabbage): Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter. Toss in the shredded cabbage and the remaining garlic. 🥬🧈🧄
- Caramelize: Cook the cabbage over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s tender and starts to get those delicious brown, crispy edges as seen in the photo! Season with salt and pepper. 🍳🥨🤤
- Combine & Plate: Place a generous mountain of fried cabbage on your plate. Top with your sliced steak and the sautéed shrimp. 🥄🌊👑
- Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for that restaurant-style finish. 🎋✨😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Resting” Secret: Never slice your steak immediately! Letting it rest allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every slice is tender and moist. 🥩🛡️💎
- Cabbage Crunch: If you like your cabbage with a bit of a bite, cook it for less time. For a sweeter, “melt-in-your-mouth” vibe, let it caramelize a bit longer! 🥬🎯✨
