Ingredients
- ¾ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ¾ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne
- 9 large Crustaceans Shrimp Mixed Species Raw
- ½ tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¾ lb Beef Top Sirloin Separable Lean And Fat Trimmed To 1/8" All Grades Raw Steak Strip
- ½ tablespoon Olive Oil
Preparation
- Combine all the seasonings in a bowl. Set this aside for use throughout the recipe. Peel and devein your shrimp if necessary. In a new bowl, combine the shrimp, first amount of olive oil, and approximately ⅓ of the seasoning mix.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Place the shrimp in the hot skillet and pour any oil and seasonings from the mixing bowl over the shrimp. Cover the shrimp with a lid, and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they are just cooked through and slightly golden.
- Set the shrimp aside to cool slightly. Clean out your skillet and return it to the stove for round two. Set the sirloin on a clean, flat surface. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix over the exposed side of the steak.
- Pour the second amount of olive oil in the skillet and bring it to a medium high heat. Place the steak, seasoned side down, in the oil. You may want to slice the steak in half for an easier cooking process.
- Cook the steak on high heat for about 2 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the skillet with a lid, and cook both sides of the steak to your preferred level of doneness. For reference, the steak in this recipe was cooked about 4-5 minutes per side to medium well. It is suggested you slightly undercook your steak, since there will be more cooking later in this recipe.
- Once the steak has cooked, set it aside to rest. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. If you have a broiler setting, turn this on as well. Soak three long skewers in warm water. Next, prepare a baking rack over a sheet tray to catch any drippings in the oven. After preparing these items, slice the steak into cubes.
- Prepare your skewers by filling them with the steak and shrimp. An alteration of 2 pieces of steak followed by a shrimp will work. Each skewer should hold 3 pieces of shrimp and 7-8 cubes of steak. Set the skewers on the baking rack.
- Set the rack of skewers in your oven. Bake for approx. 12 minutes, or until the steak gets a charred, darker exterior and the shrimp has golden brown edges. If you have a broiler on, this will take less time. Check frequently to avoid burning.
- Enjoy with your favorite side dish!
