If you can't decide between a juicy steak or seafood, why not both?

In this week's Chef's Kitchen, we visited Ocean Prime for a new take on a classic combo.

"It's probably the best cut you can get out of a cow," said Chef Nicholas Pratt about tenderloin, which he rubbed with oil before seasoning.

The "surf" in his entree is butter-poached lobster. Chef Pratt even garnishes the plate with lobster eggs (roe).

The "OMG factor" comes during presentation. Chef Pratt stacks one thing on top of another, including a fried Gouda potato cake, the filet, spinach with chili sauce, roe, black truffle sauce, and parsley.
