Creamy Cajun Surf and Turf

-Light the pit using firestarters and the Log Cabin Method (as shown in this video, stacking 2 large pieces at the bottom and building 4 more levels of kindling pieces)

-Season steak, shrimp, and veggies while the wood burns into hot coals. Once the flame is small or gone, place the food on the grate

-After about 10 minutes over the coals, I added a couple of big pieces to the pit to give everything some char. I removed everything except the steak (needed more time due to the thickness to reach 120F internal)

-Once everything’s off the heat, make the sauce by adding butter, sauteeing onions for a few minutes, garlic for 30 seconds, all the seasonings, then broth. Let that simmer for about 5 minutes then add heavy cream. Get that to a simmer until it’s thickened and remove from heat

-Slice up the steak and decorate a large plate with everything (with steak as the centerpiece). Dip or cover in sauce and enjoy!
