PREPARATION
Step 1/7
Mince the garlic and heat 2 tsp olive oil in a small skillet. Sauté the garlic shortly, so it becomes soft and set aside.
Step 2/7
Now, prepare the herb mixture. Mince the parsley and thyme, chop the green onions, and grate the lemon. Combine them with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and sautéed garlic in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture for crumb topping, and mix the rest of it with softened butter. Form the mixture into a 1-inch-thick log, cover with plastic wrap, and place into a refrigerator for 30 minutes, so it becomes firm.
Step 3/7
Next, prepare the crumb topping by combining bread crumbs, melted butter, and 1/2 cup herb mixture.
Step 4/7
Cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise, remove the shell and the cartilage and reserve the meat.
Step 5/7
Preheat the oven to 190ËšC. Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with bread crumb topping. Bake for 15-20 minutes. The breadcrumbs should turn golden brown, and the meat opaque.
Step 6/7
In the meantime, season the tenderloin steaks with coarsely ground pepper and heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the meat to your liking using a meat thermometer: 62ËšC for medium-rare, 70 ËšC for medium, 75 ËšC for well-done).
Step 7/7
Arrange the steaks and the lobster tails on 4 serving plates. Top each steak and lobster tail with a 6 cm-thick slice of herb butter and serve.
