A luxurious pairing of tender steak and succulent lobster, perfect for an unforgettable dinner.
Ingredients:
4 filet mignon steaks
4 lobster tails
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth for non-alcoholic)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Filets:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season each filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2️⃣ Sear the Steaks:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned.
3️⃣ Bake the Filets:
Transfer the skillet with the filets to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
4️⃣ Cook the Lobster Tails:
In a separate skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5️⃣ Sear the Lobster Tails:
Place the lobster tails flesh side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip the lobster tails over, add the remaining butter, and let it melt.
6️⃣ Deglaze with Wine:
Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze the pan, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the lobster tails are opaque and fully cooked.
7️⃣ Serve:
Arrange each filet mignon on a plate and top with a lobster tail. Drizzle any pan sauce over the lobster and steaks. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for garnish.
Tips:
Serve with roasted potatoes or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure your steak reaches your preferred doneness.
Enjoy this exquisite and mouthwatering meal! 🍽️✨
