Indulge in the rich flavors of this elegant Filet Mignon topped with a luscious shrimp and lobster cream sauce, perfect for special occasions or a luxurious dinner at home.
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 ounces lobster meat, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
- Season the Steaks: Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook to your desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Sauté Shallots and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Cook the Seafood: Add the shrimp and lobster to the skillet, cooking until just opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Make the Cream Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, simmering until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish the Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Serve: Spoon the shrimp and lobster cream sauce generously over the filet mignon steaks and serve immediately.
