Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Creamy Shrimp and Lobster Sauce:

  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the Steak:

  1. Pat the steaks dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks.
  3. Sear for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting based on steak thickness and desired doneness.
  4. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.

2. Prepare the Creamy Shrimp and Lobster Sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the shrimp and chopped lobster meat. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the lobster is warmed through.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
  5. Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a creamy sauce.
  6. Season with Old Bay (if using), salt, and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.

3. Assemble:

  1. Return the rested steaks to the skillet. Spoon the creamy sauce over each steak.
  2. Let them simmer together for 2–3 minutes, allowing the steak to absorb some of the sauce flavors.

4. Garnish and Serve:

  1. Plate the steaks and top generously with shrimp and lobster sauce.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  3. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, or seasonal vegetables.

Why This Recipe Works

This dish brings together two culinary favorites—steak and seafood—into one spectacular meal. The well-seasoned steak offers rich, meaty depth, while the creamy seafood sauce delivers elegance and complexity with every bite. Shrimp and lobster add natural sweetness and delicate texture, which contrast beautifully with the boldness of the beef. The Parmesan and cream tie it all together into a velvety, savory sauce that’s both comforting and luxurious. It’s a perfect centerpiece for any special occasion—or whenever you’re craving something extraordinary.
