LOBSTER TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for just a few minutes, until just partly cooked. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add lobster tails, and boil for 5 to 6 minutes, until colored. Drain, and cool slightly. Remove shells by snipping up the center with scissors, and peeling away to the side.
• Slice a large pocket into the side of the tenderloin. (A butcher can do this for you also) Stuff the lobster tails into the pocket. Combine 1 tablespoon of butter and lemon juice; pour over the lobster tails. Close the pocket, and tie the roast closed with cotton string at 1 inch intervals. Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan.
• Bake for about 35 minutes in the preheated oven for rare, or continue to roast to your desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature of the roast should be at least 145 degrees F (70 degrees C) for rare. Lay bacon over the top of the roast, and continue baking until crisp.
• Melt remaining 1 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add green onion, wine and garlic salt. Cook until onion is tender. Slice the roast, and arrange on a platter. Spoon sauce over the meat.

STEAK MEDALLIONS WITH LOBSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut each lobster tail in half. Pull meat out of the shells, cut into small cubes, set in a bowl and refrigerate until needed. Cut or break the empty shells into smaller pieces. Heat the oil in a pot set over medium heat. Add shells and onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until shells are red in colour. Mix in the flour and garlic and cook 1 minute more. Slowly, while stirring, mix in the stock. Add the brandy or wine, tarragon and paprika, bring to a simmer, and simmer 10 minutes. Strain the sauce into another pot, mix in the cream, and set aside. Preheat your indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks, lightly oiling the surface if not non-stick, 2 to 3 minutes per side for rare, 3 to 4 for medium rare, and 4 minutes for medium. While the steaks cook, return sauce to a simmer. Add the reserved lobster meat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, or until just cooked through. Season the lobster sauce with salt and pepper. When cooked, plate the steaks, topped with sauce and serve. Recipe Options: For an even more decadent meal, instead of strip loin or sirloin medallions, use beef tenderloin steaks in this recipe. If you can't have or don't wish to use alcohol, simply recipe it with more stock. If you can't have or don't wish to use cream, you could also replace it with more stock.
