Grilled Bone-In Ribeye Steaks with Caramelized Onion Shrimp

Perfectly grilled bone-in ribeye steaks paired with succulent shrimp in a caramelized onion mustard glaze, finished with a zesty lemon horseradish sauce. This restaurant-quality dish combines the rich, buttery flavor of ribeye with sweet-savory shrimp for an impressive surf and turf dinner.

Tips

Tip 1

Pat steaks completely dry before grilling to achieve a better crust and sear on the ribeye surface.

Tip 2

Don't marinate shrimp longer than 15 minutes as the acid will start to cook the protein and make it tough.

Tip 3

Let steaks rest the full 10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.

Good to Know

Make Ahead

Serve With
