Our recipe for Weeknight Surf 'n' Turf consists of perfectly seasoned strip steak paired with large sea scallops, cooked in plenty of butter. To make this dish look even more restaurant-special, we finish it off with a buttery crumb topping. It's lip-smackin' good!
What You'll Need
- 1 (10- to 12-ounce) strip steak
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided

- 12 sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
What to Do
- Evenly sprinkle steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the garlic powder.
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon clarified butter; cook steak 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove steak to a board and let rest.
- Wipe out skillet. Over medium heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons clarified butter. Sprinkle scallops with remaining salt and pepper and saute 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden and firm in center.

Notes
- Drizzle scallops with lemon juice for that extra fresh taste.
