1
Prep and cook your protein
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking.
Steak:
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the steaks to the pan and cook, turning frequently, until well browned and your desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, that’s 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into ½-inch-thick slices.
Chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into ½-inch thick slices.
Halibut:
- Pat the halibut dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the halibut to the pan and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Jumbo shrimp:
- Rinse and drain the shrimp; pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the jumbo shrimp to the pan and cook, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
While your protein is cooking, make the salad.
