Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Prepare the lobster tails: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut through the top of the lobster shell, stopping just before the tail. Gently pull the lobster meat out, keeping it attached at the base. Lay the lobster meat on top of the shell (this is called “piggybacking”).
  • Season the lobster meat with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
  • Baste the lobster: Spoon some of the garlic butter mixture over the lobster meat, reserving a little for later.
  • Bake the lobster tails: Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and tender. The lobster should be firm but still juicy.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once done, drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the lobster tails and garnish with fresh parsley.

    • 🍽️ Plating and Serving Your Luxurious Surf and Turf

    To create the perfect presentation, place your filet mignon and lobster tail on a plate side by side. Drizzle a little extra garlic butter from the lobster over the steak for an added layer of flavor. You can also garnish the plate with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme.

    Pair this dish with your favorite side dishes, such as:

    • Roasted vegetables (like asparagus, carrots, or Brussels sprouts)
    • Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic butter roasted potatoes
    • A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette

    For the ultimate indulgence, pair your meal with a glass of fine red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a rich Merlot, to complement the savory flavors of both the steak and lobster.
