Okay, ladies and gents, let me tell you about a dish that’s been making my dinner guests weak in the knees! This Garlic Butter Steak and Lobster Tail duo is the definition of luxury on a plate, and trust me, it’s easier to make than you might think.
Picture this: a perfectly seared, juicy ribeye steak paired with a succulent lobster tail, all swimming in a heavenly garlic butter sauce. I’m already drooling just thinking about it! 🤤
Here’s what you’ll need (because I know you’re dying to make this):
– 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
– 2 lobster tails
– 8 tablespoons butter (don’t you dare use margarine!)
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh thyme
– Salt and pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Lemon wedges for serving
Now, hunny, let me walk you through this magical process!
First things first, take those steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Nobody likes a cold steak! Season them generously with salt and pepper – and I mean GENEROUSLY. Don’t be shy with the seasoning, we’re not making bland food in this kitchen!
While your steaks are coming to room temp, butterfly those gorgeous lobster tails. Using kitchen shears, cut through the top of the shell lengthwise, then gently spread the shell apart and lift the meat. Divine!

Now, let’s get cooking! Heat that olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot. Place your steaks in and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan and baste those babies like they’re royalty!
Remove the steaks and let them rest (they’ve been through a lot). In the same pan, add the remaining butter and place those lobster tails meat-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the meat turns opaque and slightly golden.
Plate it up with the steak and lobster tail, then drizzle that gorgeous garlic butter sauce all over. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top, and voilà! You’ve just made a restaurant-worthy meal that’ll have everyone begging for seconds!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many marriage proposals I’ve received after serving this dish (okay, maybe I’m exaggerating, but only a little! 😂).
