Instructions
Create Heart‑Shaped Cut in Steak
Place the ribeye on a cutting board and, using a chef's knife, make a shallow, vertical cut about one‑third of the way through the center to suggest a heart shape, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Time: PT5M
Season the Steak
Pat the steaks dry, rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Time: PT5M
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat, aiming for 450‑500°F.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 450°F
Grill the Ribeye
Place the steaks on the hot grill. Grill for about 4 minutes per side for medium‑rare (internal temp 130‑135°F), then remove and tent with foil to rest.
Time: PT8M
Temperature: 450°F
Prepare Lobster Tails
Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell lengthwise, pull apart slightly, and lift the meat out, keeping it attached at the base. Remove the vein if present.
Time: PT5M
Make Garlic‑Parsley‑Lemon Butter
In a small saucepan melt 4 Tbsp butter over low heat, add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds, then stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice. Keep warm.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: low heat
Sear Lobster Meat Side
Increase grill heat to medium‑high (≈400°F). Place lobster tails meat‑side down and sear for 3 minutes until lightly charred.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: 400°F
Finish Lobster with Butter
Flip the tails, brush generously with the garlic‑parsley‑lemon butter, and cook another 2 minutes until the meat is opaque and firm.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: 400°F
Boil Potatoes and Beet
Place peeled potatoes and the quartered beet in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork‑tender, about 20 minutes.
Time: PT20M
Temperature: 212°F
Mash and Flavor the Potatoes
Drain the vegetables and return to the pot. Add 2 Tbsp butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and mash until smooth. The beet will give a subtle pink hue.
Time: PT5M
Plate the Dish
Slice the rested ribeye to reveal the heart cut, arrange on a plate, place the butter‑basted lobster tail beside it, and add a generous scoop of beet‑infused mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining butter over the lobster.
Time: PT2M
