Method
 

  1. Season the filet mignons with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Notes

If you can’t find lobster, feel free to double up on shrimp or use crab meat instead. For a lighter sauce, swap heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. Let the steaks rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure juiciness. Use high-quality ingredients for the seafood and cream, as they are the stars of the dish. If you have leftovers, store the steak and sauce separately in airtight containers and consume within a few days.
