Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the shallots and mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and devein the shrimps if not already done.
- Pat dry the beef fillets with paper towels and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Sear the beef fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the fillets from the pan and let them rest on a plate covered with foil to keep them warm.
- In the same skillet, add the shrimps and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Remove the shrimps from the pan and set aside with the beef fillets.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the shallots and garlic over medium heat until they are fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, stirring occasionally to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits.
- Stir in the chicken gravy and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is well combined and smooth.
- Arrange the beef fillets and shrimps on serving plates.
- Pour the sauce over the fillets and shrimps.
- Garnish with chopped lettuce for a fresh touch.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
Tips:
- Ensure your beef fillets are at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- Use fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- When cooking the shallots and garlic, take your time to caramelize them, as this will add a depth of flavor to your sauce.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine to lift all the tasty browned bits from the bottom, enhancing the sauce.
- Let the beef rest after cooking to retain its juices.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preference with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
