Method

Lobster Preparation

  1. 1

    Poach the Lobster

    In a pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Add the lobster tails and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the lobster is opaque and cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly, then slice in half lengthwise.

Beef Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Season the beef filets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the filets for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Spinach Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

Hollandaise Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

Frites Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Frites

    Peel and cut potatoes into thin strips. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the sautéed spinach, place the beef filet on top, and add the poached lobster tail. Drizzle with Hollandaise sauce and serve with frites on the side.
