Ree is a massive fan of surf and turf, so she thought she would devise a healthier recipe, packed with vegetables and all cooked in a skillet. This recipe works well for a weeknight supper or for company.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons salted butter

1 pound tenderloin fillets, cut into 4-ounce portions

12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon steak seasoning

1 cup halved Brussels sprouts

1/2 cup diced butternut squash

1 red bell pepper, diced large

1/2 red onion, diced large

2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 Fresno chile, sliced thin

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chopped kale

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup freshly grated Romano

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Lemon Pepper Mayo, recipe follows

Lemon Pepper Mayo:

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 lemon, zested

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon each of the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating and the butter melting, sprinkle the tenderloin and shrimp with the steak seasoning.
  2. Add the steak to the skillet and cook until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the steak pieces and add the shrimp. Cook until the steaks are cooked to your preference, an additional 2 minutes for medium-rare, and the shrimp are cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside to rest.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon each of the oil and butter to the skillet. Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down, along with the butternut squash. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, letting the vegetables get nice and brown.
  4. Stir, then add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, chile and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring as needed, for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, to allow the vegetables to soften and the flavors to come together.
  5. Add the kale and stir until it has wilted, a couple of minutes. Drizzle over the honey and vinegar, stirring everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add the steak and shrimp back to the skillet, then garnish with the Romano and parsley. Serve with the Lemon Pepper Mayo on top or on the side.

Lemon Pepper Mayo:

  1. Mix together the mayonnaise, pepper and lemon zest until well combined.

OMG! This was amazing! Followed the directions as written (with the exception of adding a few more brussels). The flavor of the veggies was over the top. I cooked it just for the two of us - but this will be my next dinner when I have friends over. Thanks Ree!!
