Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Filet mignon steaks | 2 |
| Shrimp, peeled and deveined | 1 cup |
| Lobster meat, cooked and chopped | 1 cup |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Butter | 2 tbsp |
| Garlic, minced | 2 cloves |
| White wine | 1/2 cup |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | For garnish |
Instructions
Season both filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sear the steaks for 4–5 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare finish. Remove them from the pan and allow them to rest.
Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the shrimp and lobster meat, letting everything warm through as the sauce thickens slightly.
Slice the rested steaks and spoon the seafood cream sauce generously over the top.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
A squeeze of lemon can brighten the sauce beautifully.
Serve with asparagus, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.
Use fresh seafood for the richest, cleanest flavor.
