Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Rub 10 oz ribeye steak with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp black pepper evenly.
  2. Step 2: Place 1 lobster tail on the grill, shell side down, cooking for 6 minutes. Flip and grill flesh side for 4 minutes until opaque and lightly charred.
  3. Step 3: Grill ribeye steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness with a nice crust.
  4. Step 4: While grilling, melt 5 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
  5. Step 5: Remove steak and lobster from grill. Spoon the garlic herb butter over both while hot. Serve immediately with 4 fresh lemon wedges on the side.
