How to Make Steak & Lobster with Velvety Butter Sauce

Yo, fancy food lovers! Let’s take date night (or treat-yourself night) to the next level with Steak & Lobster with Velvety Butter Sauce.

This is straight-up restaurant vibes, but guess what? You can make it at home, and it’s easier than you think. Let’s get cooking!

What You’ll Need:

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks
• Salt & black pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic (smashed)
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

For the Lobster:

• 2 lobster tails
• 1 tbsp butter (melted)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Pinch of paprika (for that pop of color)

For the Velvety Butter Sauce:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• Pinch of salt

How to Make It:

1. Prep the Steak:
   Take your steaks out of the fridge and let them sit for about 20 minutes to come to room temp. Pat them dry with a paper towel (this makes them sear better). Season both sides with salt and pepper.

1. Sear the Steak:
   Heat a skillet (cast iron is perfect) over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it get hot. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan, then tilt the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks. This makes them super juicy. Remove the steaks and let them rest.

1. Prep the Lobster Tails:
   Use kitchen scissors to cut down the top of the lobster shell, then pull the meat out slightly so it rests on top (this makes it look bougie). Brush the meat with melted butter, garlic powder, and paprika.

1. Cook the Lobster:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the lobster tails for 10-12 minutes until the meat is opaque and tender. OR, if you wanna be extra fancy, broil them for 1-2 minutes at the end for a little char.

1. Make the Velvety Butter Sauce:
   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and let it cook for 1 minute (don’t burn it!). Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Done!

1. Plate Like a Pro:
   Place the steak and lobster tail on a plate. Drizzle the butter sauce over the lobster and maybe even the steak because butter = life. Add a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus if you’re feeling extra.

Pro Tips:

• Use a meat thermometer for the steak if you’re nervous: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
• If your lobster tails are frozen, thaw them in cold water for about 30 minutes.
• Want a little spice? Add a pinch of cayenne to the butter sauce.
