Equipment

  • 4 5" wooden or metal skewers

Ingredients

  • 4 filet mignon steaks 8 oz each
  • Salt and freshly black pepper to season
  • 8 jumbo shrimp tail on (size 6/8)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 chives finely minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the green bean salad:

  • 1/2 pound green beans trimmed
  • 8 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 ounces chickpeas drained
  • 2-3 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon flake salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oi
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Let sit in the fridge uncovered for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Place 2 shrimps on each skewer and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a tray to take to the grill along with the steaks.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Place the steaks on the upper rack of the grill and let them cook on indirect heat for 8-10 minutes (you’re aiming for an internal temp of 120°F).
  • Meanwhile, add the melted butter, chives, garlic, horseradish, mustard, rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk. Let sit for 5 minutes, stir again.
  • Once the steaks reach 120°F, remove them temporarily while you heat the grill to 400°F. Then place the steaks over direct heat, brush with the herb butter, and sear for about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.
  • Grease the grill grates, then place the shrimp on the grill. Brush with herb butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until opaque.
  • To assemble, place the steak on the serving plate. Stick a shrimp skewer into each piece of meat. Baste the whole thing with more herb butter. Serve immediately.

For the green bean salad:

  • Over medium heat, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt, then add the green beans. Cook until slightly tender, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking and cool the beans.
  • To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and Dijon in a bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the cooled beans, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas to a serving dish. Drizzle on the dressing. Then sprinkle on the feta cheese and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Let it marinate for 10 minutes or serve immediately.

Notes

  • You don't want to reheat the sauce, so make it right before you'll use it. If you reheat the butter too quickly, the sauce will separate.
