For the Lobster Cream Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional) 🍷
  • 1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth 🍲
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 🧀
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filet Mignon:

  1. Season the steaks:
  • Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  1. Sear the steaks:
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. For added flavor, add butter and fresh thyme or rosemary during the last minute of cooking, spooning the melted butter over the steaks.
  1. Rest the steaks:
  • Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

2. Cook the Shrimp:

  1. Season and cook the shrimp:
  • In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Lobster Cream Sauce:

  1. Sauté the garlic:
  • In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  1. Deglaze the pan:
  • Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce.
  1. Add the broth and cream:
  • Stir in the chicken or seafood broth and heavy cream. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  1. Add lobster and Parmesan:
  • Stir in the chopped lobster meat and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and the lobster is heated through.

4. Serve:

  1. Plate the dish:
  • Place the filet mignon on a plate, top with a few shrimp, and spoon the lobster cream sauce generously over the steak and shrimp.
  1. Garnish:
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
