Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Butterfly the beef tenderloin to 1 inch from the bottom.
- Slice cooked lobster tails lengthwise and place inside the sliced beef.
- Place blanched asparagus spears lengthwise beside the lobster meat.
- Roll or fold the beef to enclose the lobster and asparagus.
- Secure if needed and place in the oven to roast until desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider marinating the beef tenderloin in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before preparing. If lobster is unavailable, shrimp can be a suitable substitute. Ensure the asparagus is tender but still crisp to maintain texture. To achieve a perfect roast, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or roasted vegetables on the side, such as garlic mashed potatoes or a fresh green bean almondine. A crisp white wine, like Chardonnay, enhances the lobster's sweetness. For a heartier option, consider serving with Bess' Baked Beans to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps retain the meat's juices and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while beef tenderloin is preferred for its tenderness, you can use flank or sirloin as alternatives. Just be aware that cooking times may vary, and these cuts may require more careful attention to avoid toughness.
How do I know when the beef is cooked to my liking?
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure the beef reaches your desired doneness. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well. Let the meat rest for a few minutes after roasting for optimal juiciness.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the beef with lobster and asparagus a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking. This is a great way to save time on special occasions.
