Surf and Turf Delight with Lobster Sauce
If you’re looking to impress with a delicious meal, this Surf and Turf Delight with Lobster Sauce is perfect! It’s a classic dish that brings together the juicy flavors of beef and the rich taste of lobster, all topped with a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 beef filet mignon steaks (about 6 oz each)
- 2 lobster tails
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
-
Start by seasoning the filet mignon with salt and pepper. This adds flavor to the meat. Next, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side. This will give you a nice medium-rare finish. Once done, set the steaks aside to rest.
-
Now, let’s work on the lobster. Steam or boil the lobster tails until they are fully cooked, which will take about 5-6 minutes. After they are cooked, remove the meat from the shells.
-
Using the same skillet where you cooked the steaks, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté it until it becomes fragrant. Then, pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens a bit. This will create a rich and creamy lobster sauce.
-
Finally, slice the cooked lobster meat and place it on the steaks. Spoon the rich lobster sauce over both the lobster and the steaks. Finish the dish by garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve it warm and enjoy!
