Few dinner combinations feel as special as surf and turf. Pairing a tender steak with fresh-tasting seafood creates a restaurant-worthy meal that is surprisingly easy to prepare at home. Whether you are planning a summer BBQ, date night, family dinner, or weekend gathering, surf and turf gives you endless possibilities for mixing rich, savoury flavours with lighter seafood.
For an especially convenient option, start with Farm2Fork’s Filet Mignon 4 oz. BOGO Special. The current special includes 24 individually packaged 4 oz. AAA-grade filet mignon steaks, aged for 28 days and flash frozen to help preserve freshness.
Here are some delicious surf and turf recipe ideas to inspire your next meal.
Classic Filet Mignon and Garlic Butter Shrimp
One of the easiest surf and turf combinations is filet mignon with garlic butter shrimp. Season your filet simply with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder, then grill or pan-sear until cooked to your preferred doneness.
Meanwhile, sauté wild-caught shrimp in butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Spoon the garlic butter shrimp over the filet just before serving.
Farm2Fork’s seafood selection includes wild-caught white shrimp as well as shell-on Mexican blue shrimp, giving you a couple of excellent options for this classic pairing.
Serve with roasted potatoes, asparagus, or a crisp green salad.
Filet Mignon with Seared Scallops
For an elegant dinner, try pairing your filet with pan-seared scallops. The caramelized exterior of the scallops provides a delicious contrast to the tender beef.
Pat the scallops completely dry before seasoning them with salt and pepper. Sear them in a hot pan with butter or olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Finish with lemon zest and a little fresh parsley.
Farm2Fork offers wild scallops, making them an ideal choice for creating this sophisticated surf and turf dinner at home.
Steak and Lobster for a Special Occasion
Want to make your surf and turf dinner feel extra special? Filet mignon and lobster is a classic combination that works beautifully for birthdays, anniversaries, or celebrations.
Grill or pan-sear your filet and serve it alongside lobster tail with melted garlic butter. Add roasted vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Farm2Fork’s seafood collection includes Canadian wild-caught lobster tails when available, as well as cooked lobster meat for other recipes.
Grilled Filet Mignon and Salmon
Surf and turf does not have to mean shellfish. Salmon and steak make a fantastic pairing, especially for summer grilling.
Season your filet with salt, pepper, and garlic, while brushing salmon with olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and a touch of garlic. Grill both until perfectly cooked and serve with grilled vegetables.
Farm2Fork offers both organic salmon portions and wild Canadian sockeye salmon portions, giving you plenty of options for building your own steak and salmon dinner.
Build Your Own Surf and Turf Dinner
The beauty of surf and turf is that there are no strict rules. Start with your Farm2Fork filet mignon, then choose your favourite seafood—shrimp, scallops, lobster, or salmon. Add a simple starch, seasonal vegetables, and a sauce to tie everything together.
For an easy finishing touch, try garlic butter, chimichurri, lemon herb butter, or a red wine reduction.
With Farm2Fork's 4 oz. Filet Mignon BOGO Special, you can stock your freezer with individually packaged steaks and create different surf and turf combinations whenever you are craving a special dinner. The steaks are flash frozen and vacuum sealed for convenient freezer storage.
