Surf & Turf Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mac and Cheese

    Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens. Stir in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Lobster

    Fold the cooked macaroni and chopped lobster meat into the cheese sauce until well combined.

  4. 4

    Cook the Filet Mignon

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignon with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the creamy mac and cheese in bowls and top each serving with slices of filet mignon. Garnish with additional paprika if desired.
