INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING PERFECT STEAK WITH/SHRIMP AND LOBSTER SAUCE
Steak
- On a cutting board or mat, season steak on each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tbsp. of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and press down. Once the steak has cooked for 2 minutes, add butter, garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. After the steak has cooked for an additional 3 minutes, using tongs, flip and cook on the other side for 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, and spoon butter over the steak. Continue to do this until the temperature is 5 degrees less than the desired temperature on an instant-read thermometer. See notes below for steak doneness temperatures. The steak will cook an additional 5 degrees while it rests.
- Let steak rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Add 1 tbsp. of butter skillet, then add lobster Sauté lobster until it turns pink in color. Shouldn’t take no longer than 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add 6 tbsp. of butter to skillet. When the butter starts to melt, add white wine and clam juice. Let the mixture come to a simmer. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent boiling over. The sauce will reduce and thicken. Taste and add more salt if you feel it needs it.
