Method

Surf

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Tails

    Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle, stopping just before the tail fan.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the lobster meat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Lobster

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the lobster tails meat side up on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through, basting with the remaining butter mixture occasionally.

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 5

    Season the Filet

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme on both sides.

  3. 6

    Grill the Filet

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Place the filet mignon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness.
