Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 filet mignon steaks about 1.5 to 2 inches thick
  • salt and pepper to season steaks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided for searing steak and cooking shrimp
  • 200 g shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup lobster bisque store-bought or homemade

Equipment

  • Heavy Skillet or Grill Pan
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Take filet mignon out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and loosely cover with foil to rest.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and lightly charred.
  4. Step 4: While shrimp cooks, gently warm the lobster bisque in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: To serve, place filet mignon on warm plates. Top with grilled shrimp and spoon warm lobster sauce generously over the steak and shrimp. Serve immediately.

Notes

This elegant surf and turf dish is perfect for special occasions or a fancy weeknight meal. Store leftover steak, shrimp, and lobster sauce separately in airtight containers and refrigerate promptly. Consume within 2 days for best quality. Reheat lobster sauce gently and warm steak and shrimp separately to maintain texture.
