After seasoning your steaks and getting your grill to the desired temperature of 275 degrees, get ready to throw your steaks on. We’ll be cooking these on indirect heat to make sure we get a nice even heat distribution.

While your steaks cook, it’s time to prepare the lobster. We’ll start by butterflying the lobster tails. Don’t worry, this is just a fancy way of saying we’re going to cut down the lobster tail and place the meat on top of the shell.

Once your lobster is prepped, we’ll get started with our basting butter. After melting your butter in an aluminum pan, add the aromatics and let them cook for about 5 minutes. Once the basting butter is ready, go ahead and place your lobster tails meat side up on the grill and give them a generous baste. You’ll want to keep basting the lobster tails every 3 minutes or so until the lobsters are fully cooked.
