Ingredients:
- 4 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup finely chopped shallots
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 ounces lobster meat, chopped
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions:
- Season the Steak:
- Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the Steaks:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and lobster meat to the skillet. Cook until just opaque, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Deglaze the Pan:
- Pour in the dry white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. This adds flavor to the sauce.
- Make the Cream Sauce:
- Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Finish the Sauce:
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Serve:
- Spoon the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce generously over the cooked filet mignon steaks. Serve immediately and enjoy the indulgence!
