Directions:
Prepare the Lobster Tails: 1️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 🔥
2️⃣ Prepare Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of each lobster tail shell, cutting through the center. Gently open the shell to reveal the meat, but leave it attached at the base. Season with salt and pepper. 🦞
3️⃣ Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Brush generously over the exposed lobster meat. 🍋🧄
4️⃣ Cook the Lobster: Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through (internal temperature of 140°F or 60°C). Halfway, baste with more garlic butter. 🔥🦞
Cook the Filet Mignon: 5️⃣ Season the Steaks: Season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and pepper. 🧂🥩
6️⃣ Heat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon steaks. 🫒🔥
7️⃣ Sear the Steaks: Cook each side for 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 135°F or 57°C). Add butter, crushed garlic, and fresh herbs in the last minute. Baste the steaks with melted butter. 🧈🧄🌿
8️⃣ Rest the Meat: Remove steaks from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. ⏲️
Serve the Dish: 9️⃣ Plate the Dish: Serve filet mignon alongside baked lobster tails. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter from the lobster over both the steak and lobster for added flavor. 🦞🥩✨
