Pat the steaks dry and season with salt and black pepper, allowing them to dry brine in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.

Set the steaks aside to come to room temperature while preparing the garlic butter sauce.

In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, horseradish, Dijon mustard, chives, minced garlic, rosemary, and a little salt and pepper.

Set the garlic butter sauce aside to meld flavors and thicken.

Peel the remaining shells off the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation.

Skewer two shrimp onto each steak using a firm, flat skewer to prevent movement during cooking.

Preheat the grill to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the steaks on the upper rack to cook slowly for about 8 to 10 minutes until they reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Increase the grill temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for searing the steaks.

Sear the steaks on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side, basting with the garlic butter sauce for added flavor.

Grease the grill grates and place the skewered shrimp on the grill, cooking for about 2 minutes until done, being careful not to overcook.

Remove the shrimp from the grill and place them on a plate with the steaks once cooked.

Prepare a green bean salad by boiling green beans for 2-3 minutes and then transferring them to an ice bath to cool.

Mix the dressing for the salad in a jar with olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon, salt, and pepper, then refrigerate it.

Combine the cooled green beans with cherry tomatoes and chickpeas in a bowl, adding the lemony dressing and tossing to coat.

Add feta cheese and fresh dill to the salad, mixing gently to combine, and season with flake salt and black pepper.

Plate the rested steak, stacking one skewer of shrimp on top of each filet, and drizzle with the garlic butter sauce.
