Instructions

Ruth's Chris Steak House Lobster Sauce

  • If using a lobster tail, steam or boil it until just cooked. Extract the meat and dice. Reserve the shells.
  • Place butter into a medium skillet. Place over medium heat.
  • When butter has melted and is hot (do not burn), add shells (if using) and cook for 2 - 3 minutes to release flavor.
  • Stir in garlic and shallot. Cook until fragrant.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine, simmering until reduced by 1/2.
  • Add cream, stock, tomato paste, paprika, cayenne and a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gently for 5 - 7 minutes.
  • Strain out the shells (if used).
  • Stir in the lobster meat. Reduce heat and keep warm.

Scallops

  • Pat the scallops dry with paper towels.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Pour oil into a medium skillet. Place over heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, add scallops, leaving space between them.
  • Sear scallops for 1 - 2 minutes per side until golden brown and just opaque in the center. Add butter to the skillet during the last minute for extra richness.

Assemble and Serve

  • Spoon lobster sauce onto warm plates.
  • Place scallops on top.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs.
  • Serve immediately, paired with crusty bread or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the luxurious sauce.
