Step-by-step instructions

1. Begin by seasoning your steak cubes with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Heat the butter in a hot pan and sear the steak cubes until they are nicely browned. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook each side for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink.
4. Add the minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce into the pan. Stir the mixture and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes until it becomes glossy.
5. Return the steak to the pan and toss everything in the luscious sauce until well-coated.
6. Serve hot over a bed of yellow rice, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Best ways to enjoy it

When plating, consider serving the steak and shrimp right atop a generous scoop of yellow rice. A sprinkle of fresh parsley not only adds color but also a burst of flavor. For sides, crisp sautéed green beans or a simple salad can complement the richness of the dish beautifully.

Keeping leftovers fresh

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, make sure to warm it gently over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp. If you need to freeze, place the dish in a freezer-safe container for up to three months, and reheat thoroughly before serving.

Helpful cooking tips

For perfectly tender steak, be sure not to overcrowd the pan during the searing process—it allows for better browning. Also, keep an eye on the shrimp; overcooking can lead to a rubbery texture. If you want an extra punch of flavor, consider marinating the steak cubes for a few hours before cooking.

Creative twists

Feel like mixing it up? Try adding some heat with a pinch of red pepper flakes or swapping the shrimp for scallops. You could also toss in some vegetables, like bell peppers or snap peas, during the shrimp cooking phase for added nutrition and color.
