Ingredients
Scale
- 2 filet mignon steaks
- 4 shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lobster tail, cooked and meat removed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup seafood stock (or chicken stock as a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), for garnish (optional)
- Sautéed mushrooms (optional)
- Asparagus or broccoli, for serving (optional)
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
Instructions
- Season filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steaks in a bit of butter or oil for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from pan and let rest.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Add lobster meat to the pan and stir gently for 1 minute. Remove and set aside with the shrimp.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using) and let it reduce by half.
- Pour in seafood stock and heavy cream. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
- Return shrimp and lobster to the sauce and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate each filet mignon and top with generous spoonfuls of the shrimp and lobster cream sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with optional sides like mushrooms, asparagus, or broccoli.
Notes
- For best results, let your steaks come to room temperature before searing.
- Use high-quality seafood for maximum flavor.
- The cream sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated.
- This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or rice.
