Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking Tray
  • Kitchen Tongs
  • Bowl for butter mixture

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Ribeye Steaks or any preferred cut
  • 2 Lobster Tails
  • 4 cloves of garlic Minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Softened
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley Finely Chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Chives Finely Chopped
  • Salt To Taste
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • Lemon Wedges For Serving

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C)
  • Next, prepare the garlic herb butter by combining the minced garlic, softened butter, parsley, and chives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and set aside.
  • Season your steaks and lobster tails with salt and pepper. Make sure to cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise to expose the meat.
  • In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steaks to your desired doneness. A rough guide is 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and let them rest.
  • In the same skillet, add a generous amount of your garlic herb butter and place your lobster tails, flesh side down, cooking for about 1 minute.
  • Transfer your lobster tails to a baking tray and put a dollop of garlic herb butter on each. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the lobster is thoroughly cooked and the shell turns bright red.
  • Serve your perfectly cooked steak and lobster tail with a side of the remaining garlic herb butter and lemon wedges. Enjoy your exquisite Surf and Turf meal for two!.
