Scampi-Style Steak & Scallops with Roasted Asparagus

Scampi-Style Steak & Scallops with Roasted Asparagus is an impressive dish and takes only 30 minutes in the kitchen to prepare.

Tenderloin steak seared in butter and finished with scallops in subtle accents of lemon zest, white wine, garlic, and fresh basil is surf-n-turf heaven.

The key is quality ingredients, so choose fresh lemon and herbs, large scallops, and tenderloin steaks—beef tenderloin (the wider end of the loin) or filet mignon (the small, forward end of the loin) is the ideal cut for its tenderness and ease of preparation.

Of course, this recipe works just as well with jumbo shrimp if sea scallops are not available.

Have you ever gone out on Valentine’s Day for a romantic dinner only to be disappointed by the noise level of the restaurant, food that didn’t quite measure up, or felt rushed by the waitstaff to move along for the their next seating?

Ingredients

For the Steak & Scallops
10 ounces beef tenderloin steaks 2 (5 ounce) steaks, 1 1/2-inch thick
1 teaspoon Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons butter
4 ounces sea scallops 6 large scallops, rinse and pat dry

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped green onions (about 4 scallions), white and light green part
3 large garlic cloves minced
¼ cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh basil cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon minced parsley
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
Dash hot pepper sauce
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Season steaks with salt and pepper. In a 10 to 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until hot and bubbly (more can be added, if needed). Add steaks to skillet and brown on one side for 4 to 5 minutes. (At this point, begin the sauce in another small, non-reactive skillet or wide sauce pan as described in step 2.)
Turn the steaks on end and rotate to brown the sides (this will take about 3 minutes), then turn over to brown the final side for 4 to 5 minutes. When turning the steak to brown the last side, add scallops to the skillet to brown at the same time, about 2 minutes on each side.
