:
Make your sauces beforehand so they are ready to serve when your steak
and lobster are ready..
RED SAUCE: HONEY CHIPOTLE
- 3 hydrated Mexican chile peppers (I used
Guajillo,but you could also use Ancho)
- 1 small can of roasted red peppers
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (or 1/2 of the
pepper depending on desired heat)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Prepare
chilies by cracking open and removing seeds, veins, and stems. Cover
with hot water. Soak for 1 hour. Drain, but reserve the soaking liquid.
Place pepper skins in blender and add enough of the reserved
water so chilies are somewhat covered. Add remaining
ingredients and blend until thick and smooth. Be careful with
the amount of chilies you use in this recipe, its spicy!
GREEN SAUCE: SALSA VERDE
- 1 bunch of mint
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- 1 bunch of basil
- 4 spring onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 or 3 jalape�os (depending on desired heat)
- 5 charred tomatillos (burned part peeled, keep
any juice for blender)
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 avocado peeled
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- White wine vinegar to taste
Place
all ingredients in a blender. Slowly add one teaspoon of white wine
vinegar at a time until you achieve a creamy, yet well balanced sauce.
It’s really up to the chef, All the fresh ingredients will
give you a wonderful sauce.
GARLIC LIME BUTTER SAUCE
Heat
1/4 cup of butter on low until melted. Add sliced garlic until
fragrant. (Do not burn the butter or garlic). Remove from heat and add
juice from half a lime. Carefully strain the sauce to remove
the garlic. Serve this sauce with the lobster and steak.
FOR THE STEAK
- Medallion size filet mignon (3”x3”)
- Salt and Pepper
Preheat
oven to 275 Fahrenheit. Crust steak in salt and pepper. (Use
more salt than you think you need). Oven cook steak on rack
for 40 to 60 minutes until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees for
medium. Allow steak to rest for 15 minutes.Internal
temperature will continue to rise to 135 degrees. Then, give
steak a hard sear in a cast iron pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side before serving
FOR THE LOBSTER
- 1 medium size lobster tail
- 2 cups of unsalted melted butter for poaching
- 4 cloves garlic
- Rind from half lemon
- Bouquet garni: fresh herbs of your liking (like thyme, or oregano) for the poaching butte
Blanch
lobster for 2 to 3 minutes in boiling salt water. Remove and place in
ice bath. De-shell lobster. Whisk butter on simmer with garlic,
fresh herbs, and lemon rind to make it aromatic. Poach lobster in
aromatic butter for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and serve with
steak.
