Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 8-10 oz. filet mignon steaks (1 1/2 – 2 inches thick)
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Onion powder, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 4 thyme sprigs
  • 2 garlic cloves

Shrimp and Lobster

  • 2 medium lobster tails, shell removed, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail off
  • All-purpose seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder), to taste
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter (divided)

Lobster Sauce

  • 1/4 cup clam juice
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Season the steak: On a cutting board or mat, season each side of the filet mignon steaks generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance flavor.
  2. Sear the steaks: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the steaks in the skillet and press down. Cook for 2 minutes, then add butter, garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs to the pan. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
  3. Flip and baste steaks: Using tongs, flip the steaks and cook on the opposite side for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and continuously spoon the melted butter, garlic, and thyme over the steaks to keep them moist. Cook until the internal temperature is about 5 degrees below the desired doneness, as it will continue to cook while resting.
  4. Rest steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
  5. Season shrimp: In a bowl, lightly season the shrimp with the all-purpose seasoning. Do not over-season since shrimp are naturally flavorful.
  6. Sear shrimp and lobster: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Sear the shrimp for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove shrimp and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet, then add lobster pieces. Sauté until lobster turns pink, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  7. Make the lobster sauce: In the same skillet, add 6 tablespoons butter. Once melted, pour in white wine and clam juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring back to a simmer. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent boiling over and to allow the sauce to thicken and reduce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Combine seafood and sauce: Stir the cooked shrimp and lobster into the sauce and let them simmer together for another 1-2 minutes to meld flavors and heat through.
  9. Serve: Spoon the creamy lobster sauce with shrimp and lobster over the rested filet mignon steaks and serve immediately for an elegant surf and turf meal.

Notes

  • Steak doneness temperatures: Medium rare: 130 – 135°F; Medium: 140 – 145°F; Medium well: 145 – 150°F; Well done: 160°F and up.
  • Allowing the steak to rest after cooking is essential for juiciness and tenderness.
  • Do not over-season the shrimp, as they have a natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and best searing results.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before adding seafood and steak to get a good sear and flavor.
