Instructions

Prepare the Pickled Onions: In a bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Add sliced onions and let sit for at least 30 minutes for more flavor.
Cook the Mashed Potatoes: Boil the chopped potatoes in a large pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well. Mash with butter, cream (or milk), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Make the Herb Brown Sauce and Steak: Season the steak slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak slices to your desired doneness. Remove and keep warm. In the same pan, sauté onions with butter until softened. If using, sprinkle flour over onions and stir in beef broth. Add thyme or mixed herbs and simmer to thicken the sauce. Return steak to the pan and coat with sauce.
Grill the Shrimp: Toss shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill or sauté over medium-high heat until opaque and charred, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Steam the Asparagus: Steam asparagus for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Toss with butter and season with salt if desired.
To Serve: Arrange steak slices with herb brown sauce on a platter, add spiced shrimp, creamy mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, and pickled onions. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Replace steak and shrimp with grilled portobello mushrooms or a plant-based protein of choice.
Spice Level: Adjust cayenne pepper in the shrimp to make it milder or spicier according to preference.
Herb Customization: Use rosemary or oregano for the steak sauce for a different flavor profile.
If you want extra creamy mashed potatoes, add sour cream or cream cheese along with butter and cream.
Frozen Shrimp: Thaw frozen shrimp thoroughly before cooking.
