Sirloin au Poivre & Garlic Herb Shrimp

• Place 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave- safe bowl; microwave until softened, 10 seconds. (TIP: Do so in 5-second intervals, checking in between, to avoid melting.) Stir in garlic powder (start with ¼ tsp, then add more from there if desired), salt, and pepper. • Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. Cover to keep warm.

• While green beans roast, pat steak* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wash out pan.

• Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium heat. Add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer shrimp to large bowl with garlic herb butter. Add scallion greens and toss until shrimp is thoroughly coated. Cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.

• Melt 1 TBSP plain butter in same pan over medium heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. • Add stock concentrates, ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), and ½ tsp crushed peppercorns (1 tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the crushed peppercorns.) Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat. Stir in another 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and more crushed peppercorns if desired.
