If you want to impress your family or friends, try making this delicious Surf and Turf Delight with Lobster Sauce. It combines juicy beef filet mignon and tender lobster, all smothered in a rich and creamy sauce. It’s perfect for special occasions or a fancy dinner at home!
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. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Once cooked, set them aside to rest.
-
While the steaks rest, get the lobster ready. Steam or boil the lobster tails for about 5-6 minutes until they are fully cooked. Once done, carefully remove the meat from the shells.
-
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
-
Now it’s time to plate! Slice the lobster meat and place it along with the filet mignon on your serving plates. Spoon the creamy lobster sauce over the top, and finish with some fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips to Make Surf and Turf Delight:
- Use a Meat Thermometer: If you’re unsure about the steak’s doneness, a meat thermometer is a great tool. Aim for 135°F for medium-rare.
- Don’t Overcook the Lobster: Lobster cooks quickly. Keep an eye on it while boiling or steaming to avoid making it tough.
- Enhance the Sauce: Feel free to add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the lobster sauce in advance and warm it up just before serving.
- Serve with Sides: This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes to make it a complete meal.
Enjoy making this special dish and impress everyone with your cooking skills!
