Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• 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).

Roast Potatoes
2

• 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).

Roast & Soften
3

• 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.

Cook Steak
4

• 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.

Cook Lobster
5

• 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.

Finish & Serve
6

• 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.

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the garlic herb butter, which enhanced both the steak and lobster 🍲. Some found the steak seasoning too bold or bland.
  • Ease of prep: First-time lobster cooks appreciated the clear instructions, though some found it challenging to remove meat from shells.
  • Suggestions: Consider butterflying lobster tails for easier prep and cooking. Some preferred mashed potatoes over roasted for a more indulgent side.
  • Portions: Several noted small lobster tails and steak sizes, especially given the premium price. Some wished for more broccoli and fewer potatoes.
  • Cooking tips: For perfect results, cook steak 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare and lobster no more than 5 minutes total.
