Lobster tails, 2
Salt, for seasoning
Garlic Butter Sauce:
Butter, 4 tablespoons

Cherry tomatoes, halved, 1 cup
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar, for dressing
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak and Lobster:
Steak: Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest.
Lobster: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Split lobster tails down the middle, season with salt, and place on a baking tray. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until cooked through and slightly golden.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and parsley, then remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Salad:
Toss mixed greens and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
4. Serve:
Plate the steaks and lobster. Drizzle garlic butter sauce generously over both. Serve with the fresh salad on the side.
Chef’s Tips:
Wine Pairing: Complement this meal with a glass of full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, or a buttery Chardonnay for the lobster.
Garnish: Sprinkle extra parsley and squeeze a bit of lemon over the top for added freshness and flavor.
