Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Butter Poached Lobster

    In a small pot, melt butter over low heat. Add lobster tails and poach gently for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Filet Mignon

    Season filet mignon with salt and black pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the filets on both sides for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest.

  3. 3

    Champagne Risotto

    In a saucepan, heat chicken broth and keep it warm. In another pan, sauté chopped onion in a little butter until translucent. Add Arborio rice and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and cook until absorbed. Gradually add chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until rice is creamy and al dente. Stir in champagne and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Sauce Choron

    In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice. Gradually add melted butter while whisking to emulsify. Stir in diced tomatoes and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Plating

    On a plate, serve a portion of champagne risotto, top with the filet mignon and lobster tail. Garnish with pea tendrils and drizzle over sauce choron.
