Steak and lobster are a match made in culinary heaven, especially when paired with creamy loaded mashed potatoes!
Ingredients
4
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 lobster tails
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- Paprika
Instructions
1
Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Season the ribeye steaks with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
3
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on desired doneness. Remove and let rest.
4
In a pot, boil the large potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
5
Add sour cream, milk, butter, half the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until creamy and mixed well.
6
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lobster tails by cutting them lengthwise and brushing with melted butter and paprika.
7
Place the lobster tails on the grill or in the oven flesh side up and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are opaque and cooked through.
8
Serve the steaks alongside the lobster tails and loaded mashed potatoes, garnished with chives and remaining cheddar cheese.

Pro Tips
Let the steaks rest after cooking for a juicier bite.
Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak.
Add garlic powder or onion powder to the mashed potatoes for extra flavour.
Troubleshooting
If the mashed potatoes are too thick, add more milk gradually until desired consistency.
If the steaks aren't browning properly, ensure the grill is hot enough before adding the meat.
Recipe Variations
Substitute with shrimp instead of lobster for a different seafood experience.
Experiment with different cheeses in the mashed potatoes, such as gouda or feta.
Healthy Alternatives
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
Opt for sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.
Choose leaner cuts of meat for a healthier version.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a simple green salad drizzled with a light vinaigrette.
Serve with asparagus or grilled vegetables on the side.
