Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Mince chives. Zest and halve lemon; slice half into 1⁄4-inch-thick rounds. • Using kitchen shears, cut along underside of each lobster* shell, leaving meat intact and stopping at tail; pull sides of shell apart to expose meat (do not remove meat from shell).
• Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the baking sheet then).
• While potatoes cook, cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. • Once potatoes have roasted 5 minutes, carefully toss broccoli and lemon rounds on empty side of same sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until broccoli is golden brown and crispy, 15-20 minutes. Carefully toss with half the lemon zest. • Meanwhile, place garlic herb butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 5-10 seconds.
• Pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Steak Spice (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer steak to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Wipe out pan.
• Heat same pan over medium-high heat. Add lobster tails, cut sides up, with a splash of water. Cover pan and cook until lobster is slightly opaque and almost cooked through, 3 minutes. • Uncover pan and add half the softened garlic herb butter (save the rest for serving); spoon melted butter over lobster until meat is opaque and cooked through, 1 minute more. • Stir in 1 tsp chives (save the rest for serving) and remaining lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer lobster tails to cutting board.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain. Using a chef’s knife, halve lobster tails lengthwise. TIP: If you don’t have a chef’s knife, use a large, sharp knife. • Toss potatoes with remaining chives. • Divide steak, lobster, potatoes, broccoli, and lemon rounds between plates. Dollop steak with remaining softened garlic herb butter. Spoon any sauce from pan over lobster. Drizzle lobster with truffle oil to taste. Cut remaining lemon into wedges; serve on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
DELICIOUS. The garlic herb butter and lemon paired extremely well with the lobster, as did the zest with the broccoli. I would've liked a better protein-to-veg ratio so that there isn't so much more veg than lobster and steak. And the steak seasoning, the herbs and peppercorns didn't stick all that well to the steak, and it was rough chomping down on whole peppercorns. So maybe make the seasoning a little easier to work with.
More than 4 stars! Man oh man the lobster tails were to die for!!! And that garlic butter I wanted to put on everything. The steak was way better the next day with the spices sitting. I was blown away I got such great seafood and meat from a food box.
This was delicious! The lemon zest on the broccoli was great. The instructions could be a tad more clear in some areas, but overall it wasn't hard to make. The cut used for the steak was good too because the people in our household like their meat cooked at different temps.
Everything was amazing! Steak & seasoning was perfect!!! It would be helpful to add to the recipe card what the lobster should look like once it's cooked. I ended up having to cook mine longer than expected.
Yummy! Adventures in butter basting. Lobster came out very sweet and tender cooked this way...although it is a hard thing to cook this way, because every time I tipped the pan to scoop the butter, the lobsters slid in my way. Other than that, very nice meal. Probably won't get it again because of cost, maybe very rarely, but it was fun to do once on a lark.
SO Good!!! We were amazed with how easy and delicious this was! And shocked we could get steak and lobster in our box! We will get this every time it's available. Also loved the roasted broccoli.
This was worth the splurge! It took some time, but I have never attempted to make lobster tails before, and the instructions were so helpful and easy to follow.
Lobster tails could've been bigger but the meal was A1 overall!!!! I absolutely loved it so much!!! And my IG went crazy about it when I posted it on my page.
This meal was great. The steak was a little chewy, and when cooked as the directions stated was very rare in parts. There were a lot of potatoes - would have loved to see more broccoli instead! Melted butter on the side for the lobster would have been nice also.
My daughter's first response was "can I have more broccoli". Amazing! Not a crumb left. The garlic butter steak & lobster tail was a hit!
