Copycat Applebees Shrimp & Parmesan Steak
One of my favorite dishes on the menu at Applebee’s is this surf & turf meal! This Applebee's copycat Shrimp ‘n Parmesan Sirloin is so simple and the taste is savory and delicious! Plus the total time to cook is less than 30 minutes!
Once butter is melted add steak so it sears – cook 2-3 min on one side
Add 2 more tbsp butter and flip steak – cook 2-3 more min (use an instant read meat thermometer to check the temp of your meat to preference – this cook time is for medium rare - 130-140 degrees)
7 tbsp butter
Remove steak from pan and let it rest – remove pan from heat (you'll need it again)
Lower heat to medium on burner.
In a separate small sauce pan, saute 3 tbsp butter and remaining garlic on medium heat. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
7 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp minced garlic
Add flour, milk, juice from lemon and cheese to saucepan and whisk frequently until the sauce begins to simmer. This sauce cooks very quickly - once simmering and thickened - remove saucepan from heat.
1 tbsp flour, 1 cup milk, 1 lemon, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Place cast iron skillet back on heat on medium-high heat. if pan is dry – add 1 tbsp olive oil
Add shrimp to hot skillet and saute. (Feel free to season shrimp with Old Bay seasoning if you have some!)
10 raw shrimp
Saute shrimp 1-2 min until opaque
Serve steak on plate and top with sautéed shrimp. Then pour parmesan sauce over top of steak & shrimp.
