Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Place garlic herb butter in a large bowl to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel and mince shallot until you have 2 tablespoons. Place peppercorns in a zip-close bag and crush with a heavy-bottomed pan or rolling pin. Halve baguette lengthwise. Zest and quarter lemon.
2. Place 1 tablespoon plain butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until softened, about 10 seconds. Stir in garlic powder (start with ¼ teaspoon), salt and pepper to make garlic spread. Trim green beans if necessary; toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. Cover to keep warm.
3. While green beans roast, pat steak dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; wash out pan.
4. Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with garlic herb butter; toss to coat. Cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
5. Melt 1 tablespoon plain butter in the pan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Add stock concentrates, ¼ cup water and ½ teaspoon crushed peppercorns. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 tablespoon plain butter until melted. Season with salt and more peppercorns if desired.
6. Spread cut sides of baguette with garlic spread. Toast in oven until golden, 3-5 minutes. Halve diagonally. Toss green beans with lemon zest and juice to taste. Slice steak against the grain. Divide garlic bread, green beans and steak between plates. Spoon pan sauce over steak; top with shrimp. Serve with remaining lemon wedges and extra sauce on the side.
