Instructions
Preparing the Linguine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine. Cook until al dente—roughly 7 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
Crafting the Shrimp Scampi
Heat a skillet over medium flame. Meld butter and olive oil together.
Toss in garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté briefly—about a minute.
Introduce the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until the shrimp turn a luscious pink—typically around 5 minutes. Relocate shrimp to a plate.
Pour in the white wine or chicken broth and lemon juice. Let the concoction bubble for a mere minute.
Kill the heat. Stir in parsley. Reintroduce the linguine and shrimp, tossing to amalgamate flavors.
Searing the Steak to Perfection
Crank up a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Meanwhile, season the steak with salt and pepper. Lightly brush with oil.
Once the pan is roaring hot, lay the steak down. Sear for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until you reach your preferred level of doneness.
In a separate bowl, combine butter and minced garlic.
Slather the garlic butter over the steak. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing (remember to cut against the grain).
