I’m putting together a surf-n-turf menu for a dinner at my house that was purchased at the Make-A-Wish Foundation Radio-thon. I’m considering a take on Steak Oscar.
 
Filet Mignon with Shrimp and Lobster Cream Sauce
 
4 (6 oz) filet Mignon steaks
Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 pound lobster meat, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
 
Season fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, sauté shrimp until pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Melt butter in the skillet. Add shallots and garlic, cook until softened.
Add white wine, simmer until reduced by half.
Stir in cream, bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened.
Add lobster meat, shrimp, parsley, and tarragon. Heat through.
Serve steaks topped with the seafood cream sauce.
