Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare & Cook the Steak:
Rub the steaks with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried rosemary.
Preheat a grill or skillet over high heat.
Cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness.

Using kitchen shears, cut the top of the lobster shells lengthwise and gently pull the meat out slightly.
Brush the lobster meat with melted ghee, lemon zest, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt.
3️⃣ Grill the Lobster Tails:
Place the lobster tails on a grill or in a hot skillet, shell-side down, and meat-side up.
Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and slightly charred.

In a small saucepan, melt butter or ghee over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in coconut milk (or heavy cream), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Pecorino Romano cheese.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
