Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.

Preheat Oven and Prepare Ramekins

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

Mix Ingredients

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.

Fill Ramekins

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

Remove ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking.

Prepare the Steak

Rub both sides of the ribeye steaks with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary evenly over both sides.

Season the Steak

Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C). If using a stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the hot grill or skillet. For medium-rare, cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, adjusting the time based on the thickness of the steak and desired doneness.

Grill the Steak

Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Rest the Steak

Slice the ribeye steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lobster shells and sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half. Add the fish stock or seafood broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Stock

In another pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.

Sauté the Vegetables

Strain the lobster stock into the vegetable pot, discarding the shells. Bring to a simmer, then add the chopped lobster meat. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth (or blend in batches in a regular blender).

Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help them cook more evenly.

Prepare the Steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.

Season the Steaks

In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip the steaks and add butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan.

Sear the Steaks

As the second side cooks for another 4-5 minutes, use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and pan juices.

Baste the Steaks

For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time according to your desired doneness.

Check for Doneness

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
