LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES



Lobster Mashed Potatoes image

I had this amazing dish at a lovely Pacific Northwest steakhouse and I knew I had to figure out how to make this special treat. These potatoes were so delicious, I could have skipped the steak entirely. This is my take on this rich and decadent side dish. This has become one of our traditions on Valentine's Day with a fabulous tenderloin steak. YUMMY! This would work well with your own mashed potato recipe instead of the basic mashed potato recipe listed here. You could certainly do this recipe with lobster tails instead of the whole lobster. You could even use precooked lobster ignoring the lobster cooking instructions. It looks like it is time consuming, but it is so easy and worth the effort for a special meal.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon (1 to 2 cloves) chopped fresh garlic
2 finely diced shallots, or 1 white onion finely diced
Any meat trimmings you may have from the beef (see beef ingredient below)
1/2 (750-ml) bottle Merlot wine
1/2 pint (1 cup) strong beef stock or demi-glace
1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary leaves
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
4 medium to large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
1 pound lobster meat
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (to saute lobster) plus 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), for the potatoes
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
3 ounces soft herbed cheese (recommended: Boursin)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
6 (4-ounce) beef tenderloins (filet mignon)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup grapeseed oil

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 MASHED POTATOES



Lobster Mashed Potatoes image

These are probably the most expensive mashed potatoes you will ever make! I read a review of a restaraunt in NYC that serves this dish, and was intrigued. Found this on epicurious.com. A perfect side dish for a romantic dinner or special event, such as Valentine's Day. Note the recipe only serves 2, if you plan to make more, you may have to take out a second mortgage on the house!

LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Lobster Mashed Potatoes Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by á-4922

Number Of Ingredients 17

MASHED POTATOES:
10 medium to large Yukon potatoes, peeled and diced
3 bay leaves
1 pound butter, for the potatoes
1 cup heavy cream, hot
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
6 ounces soft herbed cheese (recommended: Boursin)
4 ounces sour cream
BURRE FONDUE:
1 quart chicken stock
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon black pepper corns
3 thyme sprigs
2 pounds butter, diced and kept cold
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 pound lobster meat, diced
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped

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.

Tips:

  • To make the mashed potatoes extra creamy and smooth, use Yukon Gold potatoes or russet potatoes. These potatoes have a high starch content, which will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Be sure to boil the potatoes until they are very tender. This will help them to mash easily and create a smooth puree.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes possible. This will remove any lumps and create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overmix the mashed potatoes. Overmixing can make them gluey and sticky.
  • Add the lobster meat and cheese towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Lobster mashed potatoes are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your mashed potatoes creamy or cheesy, with or without lobster, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
