Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the garlic confit

    In a small saucepan, combine the garlic cloves and 1 cup of olive oil. Heat over low heat for about 30 minutes until the garlic is soft and golden. Remove from heat and let it cool in the oil.

  2. 2

    Prepare the pearl onions

    Peel the pearl onions and set aside. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cooking the Ribeye & Lobster

  1. 3

    Cook the ribeye steak

    Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  2. 4

    Cook the lobster tails

    Preheat the grill or broiler. Cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise and brush with the garlic confit, making sure to use some of the oil as well. Grill or broil for about 6-8 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Finish the dish

    In the same skillet used for the ribeye, add the butter, and melt over medium heat. Stir in the caramelized pearl onions and chopped parsley. Serve the ribeye with the lobster tails on the side, topped with the butter and pearl onion mixture.
