This is my family’s favorite Christmas dinner. Elegant for dinner parties or a romantic dinner for two. If you desire crabmeat instead of lobster, go for it!
Preparation Details
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 (8 ounce) filet mignon (beef tenderloin)
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices bacon
- ½ cup butter, divided
- 1 teaspoon OLD BAY® Seasoning
- 8 ounces lobster tail, cleaned and chopped
Steps
- Set oven to Broil at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Sprinkle tenderloins all over with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Wrap each filet with bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place on a broiling pan, and broil to desired doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium rare.
- While tenderloins are cooking, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay® seasoning. Stir in chopped lobster meat, and cook until done. Spoon lobster meat over cooked tenderloins, and return them to the broiler until the lobster meat begins to brown.
- While the lobster is in the oven, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, cook until it browns, turning the color of a hazelnut. To serve, spoon the browned butter over the steaks, and sprinkle with the remaining Old Bay® seasoning.
