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

Procedure

  1. Season filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic, sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add shrimp and lobster, cook until just opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and thyme, simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, stir in butter until melted and incorporated.
  8. Spoon shrimp and lobster cream sauce over filet mignon and serve immediately.

    is this the lobster Neuberg ?

      Hi Matthew! It’s similar to Lobster Newberg, but not quite the same. Traditional Newberg usually includes egg yolks and sherry, while our recipe uses a lighter cream-and-white-wine sauce with both shrimp and lobster. Thanks for asking!
