How To Make Steak and Lobster with Sweet Italian Cream Sauce:

Steak

Step 1: In a cast-iron skillet, heat over the stove on high heat

Step 2: Once it is heated, add in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon canola, peanut, or olive oil

We recommend peanut or canola oil as they create a better flavor profile for your steak

Step 3: Rub 1 tablespoon of your preferred oil choice all over your steak on both sides

Step 4: Now add your seasonings. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder together. Coat each side of the steak completely

Step 5: Time to sear!

Step 6: Place your steak down in the cast iron skillet and cook to your preferred doneness

Medium steak takes approximately 5-6 minutes on each side.

Cover with a lid to lock in the moisture

Lobster (Poaching)

Step 1: In a large saucepan, add 2 cups of butter

Sounds like a lot but it is the perfect method for poaching your Lobster

Step 2: Make sure to skim the top often to remove the fat off while butter is melting

Step 3: Melt over medium-low heat to ensure it does not burn

You really need to watch this to make sure it does not burn. If so you will need to start over again

Step 4: Next, cut down the center of your Lobster tail to open it

De-vain and rinse it thoroughly. We used 3-6 oz Lobsters for this recipe

Step 5: Season your lobster with salt only

Step 6: Add your Lobster in the shell to the butter.

Only add one at a time

Step 7: Turn the temperature up to medium and cook each Lobster for 6-7 minutes

Step 8: Once fully cooked, remove and let them cool on a rack

Step 8: Once the Lobster tails cool, remove the meat and slice into bite-sized pieces

Sauce (Bechamel)

Step 1: In a small pot, warm 1 ¾ cup of milk

Step 2: Once the milk is warm but not yet boiling, set it to the side and keep warm

Step 3: In a separate small pot, add in 3 tablespoons of Sweet Cream Butter

Step 4: Melt the butter for 30 seconds over low heat

Step 5: Add in 3 tablespoons all-purpose bleached white flour and stir frequently

This mixture is creating a blonde roux

Step 6: Turn the heat up to medium and constantly whisk the mixture for 1 minute until blended

Step 7: Next, add in the warm milk you set aside

Step 8: Whisk, whisk, whisk for 2-3 minutes constantly

Step 9: Reduce heat to low to thicken the sauce

We add in one tablespoon of butter for added flavor

Step 10: Season with 1 ½ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon Basil, Oregano, and 1 teaspoon thyme.

Step 11: Once your mixture is warm add in your lobster chunks

Pour your Lobster and wonderful sauce over top of your prepared steak, garnish with dried cilantro and ENJOY!

Now, ready to serve!
