Description
A luxurious surf and turf dinner featuring juicy steak and succulent shrimp served with a rich and creamy garlic sauce — perfect for a steakhouse‑style meal at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8‑oz) filet mignon steaks
- 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the steaks and cook to desired doneness (about 4–5 minutes per side for medium‑rare). Transfer steaks to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for 2–3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet with minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let it reduce by half.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the sauce and heat through.
- Plate each steak, spoon the creamy garlic sauce and shrimp over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra‑rich sauce, add a splash of brandy after the wine reduction.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or grilled asparagus for a complete meal.
- Let the steaks rest before slicing to lock in juices.
