1️⃣ Prepare the steaks: Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside. 🥩✨
2️⃣ Cook the lobster tails:
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
Use kitchen shears to cut the top of each lobster shell lengthwise. Pull the lobster meat slightly out of the shell and lay it on top. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic and parsley.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. 🦞🧈🍋
3️⃣ Sear the filet mignon: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish. Add butter to the pan during the last minute and baste the steaks with the melted butter. 🥩🔥
4️⃣ Rest and finish: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for tender, flavorful bites. 🛑✨
5️⃣ Plate and serve: Serve the filet mignon alongside the lobster tails. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley for an elegant finish. 🌟🍋
