1️⃣ Prep the Steak:
- Pat steaks dry, season generously with salt & pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking.
- Sear steaks 3-4 mins per side (for medium-rare).
- In the last 2 mins, add butter, garlic, and rosemary. Baste the steak with the melted butter.
- Rest steaks 5 mins before serving.
2️⃣ Cook the Lobster:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Butterfly lobster tails by cutting the shell lengthwise (keep meat attached).
- Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and lemon juice.
- Bake for 8-10 mins until opaque and firm.
- Broil for 1-2 mins for a golden finish (optional).
3️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
- Plate the steak and lobster together.
- Drizzle with remaining garlic butter & garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve with extra melted butter, lemon wedges, and roasted veggies or mashed potatoes.
🔥 Pro Tips:
✔ Reverse-sear the steak (oven first, then sear) for perfect doneness.
✔ Add a splash of white wine to the lobster butter for extra flavor.
✔ For extra indulgence, top steak with blue cheese crumbles or herb butter.
This combo is restaurant-quality but easy to make at home! Perfect for a date night or special occasion. 🍷
