Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Crush the mixed peppercorns and press them into the sides of the filet mignon. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filet Mignon

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust time to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lobster Tail

    While the steak is resting, prepare the lobster tail. Cut the top shell of the lobster tail lengthwise and gently lift the meat out, keeping it attached at the base.

  4. 4

    Cook the Lobster Tail

    In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and minced ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the lobster tail, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque. Baste with the butter mixture and remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Make the Mushroom Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms until the mushrooms are tender. Add the heavy cream and simmer for 5-6 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and plate it with the lobster tail, drizzling the mushroom sauce over both. Garnish with fresh parsley.
