Filet Mignon with Shrimp and Lobster Cream

## **Tips for the Perfect Filet Mignon with Seafood Sauce**

✔ **Use High-Quality Steak** – Filet mignon is naturally tender, but choose **prime or choice grade** for the best flavor.
✔ **Don’t Overcook the Steak** – Medium-rare (**130-135°F**) is ideal for filet mignon. Use a **meat thermometer** for accuracy.
✔ **Fresh Seafood is Best** – Use fresh shrimp and lobster for the best flavor and texture. Frozen seafood works too but should be properly thawed.
✔ **Let the Steak Rest** – Resting for at least **5 minutes** helps retain juices for a more flavorful bite.
✔ **Balance the Sauce** – The richness of the sauce is enhanced by a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end.
