Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Steak
  • 2 (6-8 oz) Filet Mignon Steaks
Lobster
  • 2 (6-8 oz) Lobster Tails
Other
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt and Pepper
  • 4 tbsp Butter divided
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Dry White grape juice optional
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season steaks with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. While steaks are cooking, prepare the lobster tails. Cut down the center of the lobster tail shells. Gently pull the meat up and out of the shell, but leave the tail attached at the end. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place lobster tails meat-side up in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.
  5. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in white grape juice (if using) and let it reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. To serve, slice the steak and plate with the cooked lobster tail. Drizzle creamy garlic sauce over both the steak and lobster. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality filet mignon and fresh lobster tails. Adjust cooking times based on your preferred level of doneness.
