Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Drain and mash the potatoes. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy. Set aside.
2. Cook the Steak:
Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness.
Add 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter while cooking.
Remove from heat and let rest.
3. Cook the Scallops:
Pat scallops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter over high heat. Sear scallops for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the Lobster Tails:
Split the lobster tails in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper.
In a skillet or grill, cook the lobster tails, shell-side down, for 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook the flesh side for an additional 2 minutes until opaque.
5. Assemble the Dish:
Plate the mashed potatoes, steak, scallops, and lobster tails.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your restaurant-quality Surf and Turf!
