Instructions

Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and half of the thyme and rosemary.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, remaining thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the steaks to the skillet, spoon some garlic butter over the top, and let them rest for a minute or two.
Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.
