Instructions

1. Pat the bavette steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a well-oiled grill to medium-high or heat a drizzle of oil in a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak to your desired doneness, 4-8 minutes per side (if using a pan, 5-7 minutes per side). Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice against the grain. Top with half of the garlic herb butter.
2. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Toss with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill to medium-high or heat a drizzle of oil in a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp in a grill basket (or directly on the grill pan or skillet) and cook, flipping once or twice, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Toss the cooked shrimp with the remaining garlic herb butter.
