I've made this dish several times and every time I taste it, I'm in heaven. If you get a large tail (8 or 9 ounces) you should only need two for a 4 pound tenderloin. I cook mine at 400° for about 35 minutes (or 145 degrees) and it comes out PERFECT every time. PLEASE don't cook it any longer, as you can see in my photo, after 30 minutes the meat is just under medium. Well worth the price, this is such an impressive dish.

My husband and I made this the day after Christmas since we were invited at the last minute to a Christmas Dinner and it came out lovely. We adjusted it adding parsley, green onions, mushrooms, minced garlic and cilantro in the middle of the beef for a family of 4 and added some asparagus instead of potatoes and some Bearnaise sauce that we drizzeled over the meat it was fantastic. You definitley can taste the beef more then the lobster tails but i loved it.

I used a 1 1/2 pound roast and stuffed it with 3 small-ish tails. Instead of making the full cup of butter and wine mixture, I used 2 TB of butter melted with 1/2 cup white wine and fresh, very thinly sliced garlic instead of powder. To keep the moisture in, I wrapped the whole thing with bacon, like is often done with filet medallions, after rubbing the meat with salt, pepper, and a little bourbon. Only cooked it for about 25 minutes, and it was PERFECT. Did this instead of turkey for Thanksgiving, and got rave reviews!

This was a lovely dinner. I seared the tenderloin on the grill first then added the lobster. I grilled it for approximately 10 min at 375 degrees. Juicy & delicious! Note: I also added a light coating of cream cheese inside the tenderloin to help seal in moisture.

I tried this recipe and made a few changes. I chopped the lobster and mixed it with soft garlic butter and then stuffed the tenderloin. For the sauce I added cream and mushrooms. There wasn't a morsel left on the platter everyone loved it.

I'm sad to say this is the first time I've gotten a bad recipe from this site. If you're going to use this recipe for the sauce, only use one cup of wine rather than the recomended three. I only used two cups and the wine was still overpowering and sauce watery -not buttery. Also, cooking meat at that high of a temp might make it come out faster, but the meat will be too well done on the outside and not cooked enough on the inside.

I did this for a thanksgiving brunch one year. Keep an eye on the lobster, don't over cook it. I used a 4lb rib eye roast. There was nothing left by the end of the meal! Thanks Mike.

I was able to make this recipe work for a dinner party by making the following changes: cook the tenderloin in 425 degree oven for 25 minutes, then stuff the lobster in the last 5-7 minutes, doucing with lots of butter to keep the lobster moist and keep a close eye on it to make sure it is not over done. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I also made a pan sauce of the drippings and the garlic butter to pour over the tenderloins. Garnished with lemon slices and served with roasted red potatoes and a spinach salad.

Such a terrible waste of money (approximately $100.00), time and effort. Such a disappointment for my dinner party. I agree with the other reviewer that the lobster is totally lost. Won't do this again!
