Ingredients
Scale
- 4 filet mignon steaks
- 4 lobster tails
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter (divided)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth for non-alcoholic)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Filets:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season each filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2️⃣ Sear the Steaks:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned.
3️⃣ Bake the Filets:
- Transfer the skillet with the filets to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
4️⃣ Cook the Lobster Tails:
- In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5️⃣ Sear the Lobster Tails:
- Place the lobster tails flesh-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip the lobster tails over, add the remaining butter, and let it melt.
6️⃣ Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze the pan. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the lobster tails are opaque and fully cooked.
7️⃣ Serve:
- Arrange each filet mignon on a plate and top with a lobster tail. Drizzle any pan sauce over the lobster and steaks. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
