with Zesty Roasted Green Beans & Mashed Potatoes
- Milk
- Shellfish

No need to make a reservation at the fancy chophouse downtown—bring the white tablecloth vibes to your dinner table with this surf ’n’ turf dish. Shrimp and steak are seared to perfection, then drizzled with a luxurious pan sauce of crème fraîche, thyme, lemon juice, butter, and shallot. The iconic duo is paired with lemony roasted green beans, plus potatoes that are mashed with more crème fraîche and topped with crispy fried onions for texture. Our compliments to the chef!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. Halve, peel, and mince half the shallot (whole shallot for 4 servings). Strip thyme leaves from stems until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4), leaving remaining sprigs whole.
• Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Return drained potatoes to pot and mash with half the crème fraîche (you’ll use the rest later) and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, trim green beans if necessary; toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. • Toss with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zest to taste.
• While green beans roast, pat steak* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. • Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer steak to a cutting board. Wipe out pan. • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer shrimp to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
• Heat same pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 TBSP butter and minced shallot; cook until butter has melted and shallot is softened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in demi-glace, whole thyme sprigs, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat; remove and discard thyme sprigs. • Stir in remaining crème fraîche until smooth. Add lemon juice to taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain. • Divide potatoes, green beans, steak, and shrimp between plates. Sprinkle potatoes with crispy onions. Spoon creamy lemon thyme sauce over steak and shrimp. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Excellent quality shrimp, steak was a little tough and small (still good). Potatoes and green beans with the sauce and crunchy onions were delicious as well. Certainly would recommend!
This was sooo good, really easy to make. The shrimp, potatoes and green beans were amazing. My husband and I both thought the steak was tough even though he followed the recipe. Overall in taste presentation and easy thumbs up!!
The lemony thyme sauce was a really nice surprise flavor combo on the steak! Really nice surf and turf meal.
Well for once I didn't over cook the shrimp and steak. I love the step by step instructions, maybe I'll get this cooking gourmet meals down to perfection!
Upcharge was v steep, and the 'bavette' was two separate pieces of meat, weighed out at 9.7 oz in the sealed package, labeled as 10oz. Unpackaged and drained it was 8.88 oz. Misleading and disappointing cut(s). Shrimp was 9.47 oz for weight after draining which was a pleasant surprise. Supplemented with a couple extra fingerlings. The sauce on this is what does it. We did enjoy it as a whole. A couple oz more green beans or a couple more tiny potatoes would make this feel luxe.
My husband absolutely LOVED the steak and shrimp. I did not add the seasonings that came with the box (he is a very picky eater) but added salt, pepper and garlic butter to shrimp and steak seasoning to the steak.
This was fantastic! The steak was tender and cooked perfectly per the directions and the shrimp tasted fresh!! A really nice meal and one of my favorites.
I dont even have to words to describe how amazing this was. Everything had such a wonderful flavour; even makes my mouth water thinking about it. I decided to put the beans in the skillet after the oven and added some chili flakes to the beans so add just a bit of spice (great decision) 🤤. Definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. For sure get this as a splurge or wanting to try it. Worth the extra money i paid.
So good! The shrimp was tasty. It was the first meal I made so I was a little overwhelmed by it all, but it turned out great and warmed up very well 2 days later.
Sauce was not good. Green beans weren't fresh, and the potatoes spoiled in less than 3 days. Shrimp also not fresh. You all need better produce! Cut of steak was the only good part. Again, portions aren't suitable for 2 adults.
