FILET MIGNON OVER LOBSTER BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES WITH A MERLOT REDUCTION

Steps:

• Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan, and saute the garlic and shallots over a gentle heat until translucent. (If you have any trimmings of meat, you would add them at this time). Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add the beef stock and the thyme and rosemary. Allow this mixture to reduce. It could take 20 to 30 minutes (sometimes longer) at a rolling boil, uncovered. You want the liquid to evaporate to about 1/3 of what you started with (in order to intensify the flavor). Once you have reduced the liquid to the required volume, remove from the heat, strain through a chinois (a conical strainer) or some cheesecloth (so you can remove all the vegetables and herbs), return the sauce to the pan and stir in the butter to finish the sauce.
• For the potatoes:
• Boil the potatoes with the bay leaves until the potatoes are tender. While the potatoes are cooking, saute lobster meat in oil and butter until it is no longer translucent, and set aside. Drain the potatoes well and discard the bay leaves, then mash the potatoes. Using a beater, add in 1 stick of butter and salt and white pepper. Fold the lobster meat into the potatoes and set aside in a warm place.;
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season beef with salt and pepper. In a heavy bottomed, oven-safe saute pan, add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat on medium high heat on the stovetop. When the saute pan is hot, cook each side of the filets for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes or so. Turn the filets and continue the searing process on the other side of the filets for another 2 to 3 minutes. Place the pan of steaks into the preheated oven. Allow the filets to cook a further 6 to 8 minutes in the oven (depending on the thickness of the steaks and the heat of your oven).
• While the steaks are in the oven finish the potatoes by crumbling the Boursin cheese into the lobster mashed potatoes which you have been keeping warm and gently stirring it in to allow cheese to melt.
• Remove the pan of steaks from oven and allow them to rest. (Remember to use an oven mitt; the handle of the pan will be hot!)
• If necessary, briefly re-heat the Merlot sauce, then remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the whole stick of butter.
• Plate a portion of mashed potatoes in the center of serving plate. Top with the filet mignon, spoon the Merlot sauce over and around and garnish with chopped chives.

LOBSTER STUFFED WITH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash live lobsters under cold water, leaving rubber bands on claws. To kill a lobster sever its spinal cord (this is the least painful method). Deaden its sense of pain by thrusting the tip of the knife between the lobster's eyes and continue moving downward into the natural breach where the head and front abdominal shells meet. Turn lobster around and split downthe tail, but do not cut in half. Discard stomach. Remove rubber bands from claws. Place lobsters on baking dish or baking pan. Insert wooden skewers through the length of tails. Season with salt, pepper and 2 ounces of butter. using a pastry bag with a star tip, pipe mashed potatoes (see Mashed Potato recipe) into front cavity and bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Serve lobster with melted butter and lemon wedges.
• For the mashed potatoes: Dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place 1 1/2 quarts of water in medium-size pot over high heat. When the water boils, add the potatoes. Cover and cook until fork-tender. When potatoes are cooked, drain well using a colander. While the potatoes are draining in colander, melt butter in small pot. Add heavy ceam to butter. Bring butter and cream to a boil. Remove from stove. Place drained potatoes in a mixing bowl. Set electric mixer to medium speed and proceed wihpping potatoes. With machine running, slowly add heavy cream and butter. Whip potatoes until smooth (approximately 4 to 5 minutes). Stop machine and remove bowl. Fold in sour cream and scallions. Add salt and pepper. Place a star tip on pastry bag.

LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes with the bay leaves until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well and discard the bay leaves, then mash the potatoes, using a food mill, add the butter, cream hot and salt and white pepper. Fold the Boursin cheese and sour cream allowing it to melt into the potatoes and set aside in a warm place. Combine all ingredients, except the butter. Bring to a simmer and reduce by 2/3. Turn down the heat, and start adding the cold butter whisking constantly to emulsify. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper. Strain through chinois. To finish, gently poach the diced lobster in the burre fondue. Place the poached lobster on top of the boursin mashed potatoes. Sauce with some more burre fondue. Garnish with chives. If you are using fresh lobster, I suggest that you steam the lobster to make it easier to remove from the shell. Then heat and complete the cooking by warming it in the butter sauce. I also like to cook the claws longer than the tail. You don't want the tails to be over cooked and rubbery. This recipe is well worth the effort for cooking and cleaning the fresh lobster.
