📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the steaks:
2
Adjust oven racks to upper and lower-middle positions. Place a cast-iron skillet in oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with foil, set aside.
3
Pat dry steaks thoroughly with a paper towel. Season on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until evenly combined and divide into two equal parts.
5
Carefully remove skillet from oven and place over medium-high heat. Add half of the butter mixture and allow to melt. Add steaks, and sear until a good crust forms, about 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes, basting with butter occasionally. Flip steaks and sear other side, about 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes more. Using tongs, sear all sides of the steak, about ⏱️ 30 seconds.
6
Place steaks in skillet in oven, and cook until desired temperature is reached, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F), 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes for medium (140 to 145 degrees F) or 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F). Remove steaks from skillet and allow to rest ⏱️ 5 minutes.
7
For the lobster:
8
Meanwhile, butterfly the lobster tails. Using sharp kitchen shears or a very sharp knife, carefully cut down the top center of the shell, avoiding cutting the bottom shell. (It is okay if a little of the meat is cut.)

9
Pry open the shell on both sides and gently separate meat from the inside of the shell, taking care to not separate it from the tail. Push together the empty shell underneath lobster meat in a nice row. Place on prepared baking sheet.
10
Spread some of the remaining butter mixture over the top of the lobster tails and sprinkle with salt. Bake until opaque and lightly browned, about 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes.
