Method

Prep the proteins

Pat the Steak of Choice and Lobster Tail completely dry. If the lobster tail is still in the shell, cut the top shell lengthwise and gently lift the meat up so it sits a little on top and cooks evenly. Season both sides of the steak and lobster with the Salt, Pepper, and Honey Cajun Rub, then let them sit for 10 minutes while you get the rest of the dish moving.

Boil the eggs

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and lower in the Eggs carefully. Simmer them for 7 minutes for jammy centers, then move them to cold water, peel once they're cool enough to handle, and set them aside.

Whisk the sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the Mayonnaise, Egg Yolks, and the Garlic (minced) — mince it first if it isn't already. Stir in the sauce packets from the Buldak Carbonara until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and pale orange, then keep it near the stove so you can loosen it with hot noodle water later.

Sear the steak

Heat a skillet over medium-high until it is very hot, then sear the steak for 3 minutes on the first side without moving it. Flip and sear for 3 minutes more for a medium-rare center, then transfer it to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cook the lobster

Add the Butter to the same skillet, then lay in the lobster meat-side down and cook for 2 minutes. Flip it shell-side down, spoon the butter over the top, and cook for 2 minutes more to 3 minutes more until the flesh is opaque and just firm.

Cook the ramen

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodle cakes from the Buldak Carbonara for 4 minutes, or until tender with a little bite left. Drain well, and save a few spoonfuls of the hot cooking water to loosen the sauce if needed.

Assemble the bowls

Toss the drained noodles with the sauce until every strand is glossy, adding a little reserved cooking water if it needs to loosen. Divide the ramen between bowls, slice the steak against the grain, and arrange the steak, lobster, and halved Eggs on top. Finish with a little extra Pepper or a pinch more Cajun rub, then serve right away.
