Here’s a succulent recipe for steak and lobster:
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preparing the Lobster Tails:
- Thaw the lobster tails if they’re frozen by placing them in the refrigerator overnight.
- Using kitchen shears, cut through the top shell of the lobster tail lengthwise.
- Gently spread the shell open to expose the meat, leaving it attached at the bottom. Remove the vein running through the tail if desired.
- Carefully lift the meat through the slit in the shell and rest it on top.
- Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking the Lobster Tails:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously over the lobster meat.
- Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as lobster can become tough.
Preparing the Steaks:
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Steaks:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it’s smoking hot.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
- Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired level of doneness.
- For a perfect medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of about 130-135°F (55-57°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serving:
- Place the cooked steaks and lobster tails on serving plates.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
- Enjoy your succulent steak and lobster feast!
