Ingredients

• Two beef tenderloins, each about 6-8 ounces in weight.
• To taste, add Kosher Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
• Divide three tablespoons of unsalted butter
• Scallops, 8-10 lbs.

GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

• Lemon zest two teaspoons
• To taste, add Kosher Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper

Instructions

• Heat a 12-inch skillet made of cast iron over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
• Use paper towels to dry both sides of the beef steak. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
• Melt two tablespoons of butter. Place the steaks on the skillet in the center and cook for 4-6 minutes until a crust forms. Flip the steaks using tongs and cook an additional 3-4 mins or until desired doneness. Set aside, loosely wrapped.
• While the steak is resting, wipe clean the skillet and melt the remaining one tablespoon of butter.
• The scallops can be cleaned by removing the side muscles, rinsing them in cold water, and allowing them to dry.
• Season scallops to your taste with salt and black pepper. Add scallops in batches to the pan in one layer. Cook, flipping the scallops once, for about 2 minutes on each side. Keep warm and set aside.
• Reduce heat to low and add the garlic, stirring constantly, for about a minute. Stir in the butter, parsley chi,ves, lemon juice, and zest, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve steak and scallops with garlic butter sauce immediately.
