Herb-Roasted Lobster and Steak
Serves: 4
Time: 20 min
Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 handful chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt, divided
2 shell-on lobster tails, thawed and cut down the middle with kitchen shears
2 rib-eye steaks
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Decadent and filling, this classic surf-and-turf combination features dry-aged beef alongside juicy lobster tails, all topped with homemade herb butter. We split the lobster tails in half for easy and elegant serving after they’re cooked.
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C (fan oven temperatures may vary). Line a baking sheet with foil.
In a bowl, stir together butter, parsley, chives, rosemary, oregano, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.
Spread 1 teaspoon of the herb butter over meat on each piece of lobster and place, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast until just cooked through and opaque in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, season steaks all over with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of the herb butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add steaks and cook, flipping once, until deeply browned and medium-rare or to desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes total.
Top each steak with 1 tablespoon of the herb butter. (Reserve remaining butter for another use.)
Let steaks rest for 5 minutes and then serve alongside lobster with lemon wedges.
