In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp butter.
Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust based on your preferred doneness).
Remove from skillet and let rest.
2️⃣ Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter.
Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Lower the heat slightly. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.
Pour in the cream and broth, then stir well.

Spoon the warm sauce over everything to coat.
