Ingredients:
Filet Mignon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
2 finely diced shallots
1/2 bottle of Merlot (the rest for you while you cook)
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
1 stick unsalted butter
2 filet mignon
salt and pepper
Lobster Boursin Mash Potatoes
1 package of already made mashed potatoes
2 bay leaves
2 lobster tails
3 ounces of boursin cheese
In a steamer pot, add water and bay leaves.
Step 1:
In a large sauce pan heat up the butter and saute the garlic and shallots until they are translucent.
Step 2:
Deglaze the pan with 1/2 bottle of wine.
Step 3:
Now add beef stock, thyme and rosemary.
Allow this mixture to reduce, which takes 20 – 30 minutes so lets work on the potatoes.
Step 4:
Lobster Boursin Mash Potatoes
In a steamer pot, add water and bay leaves.
Step 5:
Once the water comes to a boil, add the lobster tails to the steamer and cover.
Step 6:
While the lobster tails are steaming, I put the heat on for the mash potatoes and this is a good time to turn on the grill. Once the lobster is done remove from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 7:
Once they have cooled down, remove the meat from the tails, chop and add to the pot of potatoes .
Step 8:
Now add the boursin cheese.
Step 9:
Stir the potatoes and cook on low.
Your Merlot reduction should be done so remove from heat and strain.
Step 10:
Now grill the steaks, and it’s time to make this meal complete with plating.
To plate, add a portion of mashed potatoes in the center of the serving plate. Top with the filet mignon, spoon the Merlot sauce over and around and garnish with chives.
