### Star Ingredients
* **Steak** – Ribeye, filet mignon, or NY strip are all excellent choices
* **Seafood** – Shrimp, lobster tails, or scallops for a sweet, briny balance
* **Butter** – The base of the luscious garlic sauce
* **Fresh garlic** – Sautéed to golden perfection for bold, aromatic flavor
* **Fresh herbs** – Parsley, thyme, or rosemary for a fragrant finish
* **Lemon juice** – Adds a hint of brightness to cut through the richness
* **Salt & black pepper** – Essential seasonings to enhance every bite
### How It All Comes Together
Start by seasoning your steak generously and pan-searing it to your desired doneness—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Next, sear the seafood in the same skillet, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the proteins rest, make your garlic butter by gently sautéing minced garlic in melted butter until fragrant. Add herbs and a splash of lemon juice for balance.
Arrange everything on a platter: slice the steak, pile on the seafood, then pour the warm garlic butter generously over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges and extra herbs for that final touch of elegance.
