Reef & Beef is a classic dish that has been enjoyed by seafood and meat lovers alike for decades. The dish originated in the 1960s when surf 'n' turf became an increasingly popular dish on restaurant menus. Reef & Beef differs from traditional surf 'n' turf by using shrimp and scallops instead of lobster or crab, making it more accessible for those on a budget. This dish is perfect for anyone looking for a restaurant-quality meal at home. The creamy tomato sauce ties the flavors together, making it a perfect pairing with a glass of red wine and some crusty bread.

Instructions

1.	Preheat grill to high heat.
2.	In a small bowl, mix together the condensed tomato soup, Italian dressing, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
3.	Grill the steak fillets to the desired doneness. While the steak is resting, add the shrimp and scallops to the grill and cook until slightly opaque.
4.	In a saucepan, heat the soup mixture over medium heat until warm. Add in the cream and stir until combined.
5.	To serve, place the steak on a plate and top with the shrimp and scallops. Pour the sauce over the top.
