Pro Tip: Season your steak and shrimp just before turning on the stove. Seasoning too early will draw moisture out of the steak and shrimp.
Steak Doneness Chart
When using an expensive cut of meat, or any cut of meat really, a good Thermometer will give you confidence in the kitchen. Since a steak will continue to cook and increase in temperature when it’s taken off the heat, you’ll want to remove the steak from the skillet about 10 degrees before the final desired temperature. These are the final resting temperatures that we aim for:
- 130˚F for Medium-Rare
- 135˚F for Medium doneness (Natasha’s favorite)
- 140˚F for Medium-Well doneness
Common Questions
What is Surf and Turf?
Surf and turf is the combination of seafood (surf) and red meat (turf). The seafood can be anything from shrimp to Lobster or scallops and the turf is typically a great steak. If you aren’t able to source Filet Mignon or Beef Tenderloin, you can substitute with New York Steak, Ribeye, or Top Sirloin, which are all excellent cuts that will yield tender results.
