Instructions

1. Pat the filet mignon steaks dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Cut the lobster tails down the center with kitchen scissors and gently pull the meat slightly out of the shell.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the filet mignon steaks for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adding butter and fresh thyme during the final minute. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks continuously. Remove and let rest.
5. In the same skillet, add the lobster tails shell-side down. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until opaque. Remove from heat.
6. Lower the heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Add Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until smooth and creamy.
8. Return the lobster tails briefly to the pan to coat with sauce.
9. Plate the filet mignon with lobster tails and generously spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, or buttery vegetables.
