Lobster sauce for steak

A creamy, dreamy lobster sauce perfect for elevating steak. Made with simple ingredients like lobster meat, butter, garlic, heavy cream, and white wine, this sauce adds a touch of luxury to any meal.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Lobster Meat (fresh or frozen)
  • Butter (unsalted)
  • Garlic (freshly minced)
  • Heavy Cream
  • Dry White Wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • Fresh Herbs (parsley, thyme, or chives)
  • Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the lobster meat and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until lightly cooked and fragrant. Pat the lobster dry before adding it to the pan to help it brown nicely.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a minute or two, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  6. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  7. Spoon generously over your favorite steak and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t Overcook the Lobster: Overcooked lobster is rubbery and tough. Cook it just until it’s lightly pink and opaque., Use Good Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Splurge on good butter and fresh herbs if you can., Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the sauce as it simmers and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Don’t be afraid to add a little extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice., Make it Your Own: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, or flavors to create your own signature lobster sauce., For a Spicy Cajun-Style: Add a pinch of Cajun seasoning or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick., For a Lemon-Garlic Butter Sauce: Omit the cream and wine and simply sauté the lobster in a generous amount of lemon-garlic butter.
