Ingredients

For the steak and lobster combo that’s sure to steal the show, gather the following ingredients:

For the Steak:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)
For the Lobster:
- 2 lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Cooking Steps

Prepare Your Ingredients:
First, let’s set the stage. Take those steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly. In the meantime, to keep things organized, gather your ingredients together—because we all know that chaos in the kitchen only leads to burnt bits!
Preheat the Grill (or Oven):
If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If cooking indoors, you can use a cast-iron skillet and heat it over medium heat as well.
Season the Steaks:
Generously season your ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Get those flavors dancing!
Cook the Steaks:
Add olive oil and butter to your skillet or grill. Once heated, place your steaks in and let them sizzle away for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Don’t forget to add in the minced garlic towards the end of cooking for extra flavor!
Prepare the Lobster:
While your steaks are loving the heat, cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise, drizzle with melted butter, garlic, and a splash of lemon juice.
Cook Lobster:
In the last few minutes of cooking the steak, place the lobster tails on the grill or in the oven (after removing the steaks) and broil them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful shade of red.
Let It Rest:
Once cooked, let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes. This is crucial—don’t skip it! It allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite a flavorful explosion.
Plate It Up:
Serve the steak topped with garlic butter and a side of succulent lobster tail. Garnish with fresh herbs for that restaurant-style finish, and voilà! You have a meal that’s not only delicious but also makes your friends drop their forks in awe.

Cooking Tips

Get Saucy: You can whip up a simple garlic butter sauce by adding herbs to melted butter for drizzling on top of everything. It’s like the cherry on top, only way butterier!
Serving Suggestions: Pair this dish with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. (And a slice of cake on the side never hurts, either!)
Don’t Stress About Perfection: If your lobster turns out a bit shy of perfect, just remind yourself—it’s all about the taste!

FAQs

Can I substitute the steak?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. But honestly, they probably won’t last that long!

Can I cook this on a stovetop?
Yes! A cast-iron skillet works wonders and brings out a lovely sear on the steak.
