Keto Dinner

Lobster Colorado

I love combining land and sea on one plate, and this Lobster Colorado does it beautifully. With bacon-wrapped filet mignon, sweet lobster meat, and a nutty brown butter drizzle, it’s a decadent keto dinner that feels like a celebration. Best of all, it comes together in under an hour without any complicated steps.

Ingredients

  • (8 ounce) beef tenderloin filets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • /2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • slices bacon
  • /2 cup butter, divided
  • teaspoon OLD BAY® Seasoning
  • ounces lobster tail, cleaned and chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by preheating your broiler to 500°F. While it heats, season the beef filets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides. Wrap each filet with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place them on a broiling pan and broil for 8-10 minutes per side for medium-rare. I like to keep a close eye at this stage to avoid overcooking. In the meantime, melt ¼ cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in ½ teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, then add the chopped lobster meat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the lobster is just opaque. Spoon the lobster over the broiled steaks and return them to the broiler for a minute or two until the lobster starts to brown slightly. For the final touch, heat the remaining ¼ cup of butter in a clean saucepan over medium-high heat. Swirl the pan as it melts and turns a golden hazelnut color—this browned butter adds a nutty richness that elevates the dish. Drizzle it over the steaks, sprinkle with the remaining Old Bay seasoning, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip

I always let the filets sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before broiling; this helps them cook more evenly. And don’t walk away when browning the butter—it can go from perfect to burnt in seconds.

Storage Tips

Store leftover steaks separately from lobster topping in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent the lobster from drying out.

Variation Tips

Swap beef tenderloin for ribeye if you prefer more marbling. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne to the lobster butter. Serve with roasted asparagus or a fresh arugula salad to round out the meal.
