Surf And Turf Beef Tenderloin With Mushroom And Asparagus Ragout And Lobster Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry and season all over with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to melt. Add the beef and sear until mahogany brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the ragout: Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and spread them out evenly; increase the heat to high. Let the mushrooms cook, undisturbed, until browned, then shake the skillet to flip them over. Add the additional butter along the sides of the skillet as the mushrooms cook, if the skillet seems very dry. Continue to cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Season the mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some ground black pepper; add the thyme. Pull the skillet off the heat and add the Madeira. Return the skillet to the heat and scrape up any of the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• When the beef is ready, transfer to a cutting board, tent very loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice the beef across the grain crosswise, arrange on a platter and serve with the mushroom ragout.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute onion in 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add broth; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in parsley. , Meanwhile, make a horizontal cut three-fourths of the way through each steak. Place three shrimp in each pocket. Set aside remaining shrimp and sauce for garnish; keep warm. , In a large skillet, heat remaining oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook until meat reaches desired doneness (about 10-13 minutes for medium, 160°), turning once. Top with reserved shrimp and sauce.

Steps:

• Heat your barbecue to high. Rub the steak with the oil, then season on both sides and set aside. To make the seaweed butter, blitz the butter with the seaweed and sea salt. Spoon onto some baking parchment and make it into a log shape by rolling it up and twisting the ends. Chill until needed.
• When the coals are ready to cook on direct heat, hold the steak upright on the grill so the strip of fat down the side sizzles and crisps. Once it's nicely browned, lay the steak flat on the grill so the striploin (the larger side) is closer to the flames, and the tenderloin is on the edge of the barbecue - this ensures you cook each side evenly. Cook for 5 mins, then flip the steak over and put it on the other side of the barbecue so the strip loin is again nearest to the flames. Cook for 5 mins more, then cover with a lid and cook for 4 mins further each side for medium rare. Put the steak on a plate, top with a large slice of the butter, cover with foil and leave to rest.
• While the steak rests, cut some slices of seaweed butter and lay them on the flesh side of each lobster half, then put on the barbecue (tails shell-side down). Cook for 5-10 mins, depending on how hot the barbecue is and if the lobster is raw or cooked (see our ultimate guide to lobster if you're preparing it live). Wait until the shells turn orange-red - remove the tails when the meat is no longer translucent, but cook the claws for a few mins longer.
• Serve the T-bone steak on a large board or serving platter, topped with or alongside the lobster tails and claws and more seaweed butter.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, butter, onion, wine, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, and black pepper together in a bowl; add shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with steak seasoning.
• Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and have reached your desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute garlic in 2 teaspoons oil until tender; remove from the heat. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, green onions, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper, cayenne and reserved garlic. Set aside 1/2 cup for crumb topping. , Add softened butter to remaining herb mixture; mix well. Shape into a 1-in.-thick log; wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm., For crumb topping, combine the bread crumbs, melted butter and reserved herb mixture; set aside., Preheat oven to 375°. Split lobster tails in half lengthwise. With cut side up and using scissors, cut along the edge of shell to loosen the cartilage covering the tail meat from the shell; remove and discard cartilage., Place lobster tails on a baking sheet; top with reserved crumb topping. Bake, uncovered, until meat is firm and opaque and crumbs are golden brown, 15-20 minutes., Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with coarse pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steaks in remaining oil until meat reaches desired doneness, 4-5 minutes on each side (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Unwrap herb butter; cut four 1/4-in. slices from log. Place 1 slice on each steak. Serve with lobster. Rewrap remaining butter; refrigerate for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
