Instructions

Season and rest steaks: Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Sear the steaks: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, forming a beautiful crust.
Rest steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and cover them loosely with foil. Allow them to rest while you prepare the sauce; resting helps redistribute the juices for a tender steak.
Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for approximately 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring not to burn it.
Cook shrimp and lobster: Add the shrimp and cooked lobster meat to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Make cream sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stir well, and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Plate the filet mignon steaks and generously spoon the shrimp and lobster cream sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Allowing steaks to rest before and after cooking ensures juiciness and tenderness.
Use fresh or properly thawed seafood for the best texture and flavor.
You can substitute fresh parsley with chives or other fresh herbs for garnish.
Medium-rare cooking time is approximately 4-5 minutes per side but adjust based on steak thickness and preference.
Use a heavy skillet or cast iron pan for the best sear on the steaks.
