Perfectly cooked tender filet mignon pairs beautifully with a decadent seafood cream sauce made from shrimp, lobster, and white wine. This elegant dish is ideal for special occasions or when you want to impress guests with a gourmet meal at home.

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

Instructions

  1. Season filet mignon steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for preferred doneness). Transfer steaks to plate and cover loosely with foil.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté shallots and garlic for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add shrimp and lobster meat, cooking until opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Deglaze pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and thyme leaves; simmer 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove skillet from heat; stir in butter until melted and sauce is silky.
  8. Serve filet mignon topped with generous spoonfuls of shrimp and lobster cream sauce immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute shrimp and lobster with scallops or crab meat for variations.
  • Swap thyme for tarragon or parsley for a different herbal flavor.
  • Use chicken broth instead of white wine if desired.
  • Add grated Parmesan cheese during simmering for extra richness.
  • Leftover sauce can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before reheating gently.
