Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 4 filet mignon steaks (6 oz each)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seafood and Sauce
- 8 large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season and Sear Steaks: Generously season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare or adjust to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks and transfer to a plate; tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Sauté Shrimp: In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside with the steaks.
- Prepare Lobster Cream Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the chopped lobster meat, then deglaze the pan by pouring in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to simmer gently until it thickens, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine Sauce and Seafood: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir gently to coat with the lobster cream sauce. Heat through carefully to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
- Serve: Spoon the rich lobster cream sauce with shrimp over the filet mignon steaks. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, or garlic green beans for a complete fine-dining meal.
- You can use fresh lobster tails or pre-cooked lobster meat based on availability.
- Substitute the dry white wine with chicken broth if you prefer to avoid alcohol.
