Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak

Preheat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub steaks with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
Grill or sear for 4–5 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or to your preferred doneness.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

2. Cook the Shrimp Skewers

In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Thread onto skewers and grill or sauté for 2–3 minutes per side, until opaque and lightly charred.

3. Make the Mashed Potatoes

Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes, until fork-tender.
Drain and mash with butter and heavy cream.
Season to taste and top with cheddar cheese and bacon bits if desired.

4. Make the Cheesy Broccoli

Steam broccoli for 5–7 minutes until just tender.
Drain and toss with butter, cheese, salt, and pepper.

5. Serve with Rolls

Warm the dinner rolls and serve on the side of your fully loaded plate.
