Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by removing the lobster tails from their shells and cutting down the back to allow the meat to cook evenly. Pat the filet mignon and lobster tails dry with a paper towel.

2

Marinate the Filet Mignon

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto the filet mignon and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3

Prepare the Lobster

In a separate bowl, melt some butter and mix with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Brush this mixture over the lobster tails.

4

Grill the Filet Mignon

Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the filet mignon for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

5

Grill the Lobster Tails

Place the lobster tails flesh-side down on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until the meat is opaque.

6

Serve

Remove the filet mignon and lobster tails from the grill. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving with lemon wedges and additional parsley if desired.
