Prepare the Lobster
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the top of the lobster tail shell down the center with kitchen shears, exposing the meat. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on the shell. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Clarify the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Skim off the foam from the top and pour the clear butter into a serving dish, discarding the milk solids.

Cook the Lobster
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Cook the Filet
While the lobster is cooking, season the filet mignon with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the filet for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
