* **Steak**: Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon — whatever you prefer, sliced into juicy medallions or cooked whole.
* **Seafood**: Shrimp or scallops are popular choices, seared until just tender.

4. **Return steak and seafood to the skillet**, coating everything in the sauce.
5. **Serve immediately**, garnished with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
#### Serving Suggestions
