Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seafood:
- 2 ribeye steaks (8 ounces each)
- 2 lobster tails
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Liquid:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Elevate the ribeye steaks with a robust seasoning blend of salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and thyme. Massage minced garlic into the meat for enhanced flavor intensity.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet at medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling surface for perfect searing. Cook steaks 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness, targeting medium-rare to medium for optimal tenderness.
- Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes, enabling internal juices to redistribute and ensuring maximum succulence.
- Prepare lobster tails by meticulously slicing the top shell lengthwise with kitchen scissors, exercising precision to maintain structural integrity.
- Gently separate lobster meat from shell, positioning it elegantly atop the original shell while preserving the base connection.
- Craft garlic butter by combining melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper into a harmonious blend.
- Lavishly brush the prepared garlic butter across the exposed lobster meat, ensuring comprehensive flavor coverage.
- Ignite grill to medium-high heat, creating an ideal cooking environment for seafood preparation.
- Position lobster tails on grill, cooking 5-6 minutes and periodically basting with garlic butter until meat transforms to opaque white.
- Plate the dish by arranging sliced steaks alongside grilled lobster tails, drizzling remaining garlic butter for a final flavor enhancement. Complement with grilled vegetables or crisp salad.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by letting steaks come to room temperature before cooking, ensuring even seasoning penetration and better searing results.
- Choose high-quality, fresh lobster tails and thick-cut ribeye steaks for the most luxurious surf and turf experience.
- Control cooking temperatures carefully, using a meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness without overcooking delicate seafood or beef.
- Experiment with alternative butter infusions like herb-roasted garlic, smoked paprika, or cajun-style seasoning to customize the garlic butter sauce.
