Surf and turf for two

If it's just you and your honey this Christmas Eve, and you want to do something special, try out this restaurant-worthy surf and turf meal. Tender filet mignon gets cooked in the pan with a buttery coating to seal in the flavor. Then you prepare the flavorful mushroom sauce that gets a smoky upgrade from bacon before being ladled over your juicy steaks. Serve alongside buttery, garlicky broiled lobster tails, and your significant other will fall in love with you all over again.
