Lobster-Stuffed Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 -4 lbs beef tenderloin
    2 frozen lobster tails (4 oz each)
    1 tablespoon butter, melted
    6 slices bacon, partially cooked
    1/2 cup sliced green onion
    1/2 cup butter
    1/2 cup dry white wine (I use white vermouth)
    1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
    Make a lengthwise slit in the middle of the tenderloin, cutting down within 1/2 inch of the bottom.
    This should form a pocket big enough to accommodate the two lobster tails.
    Place the lobster in boiling salted water (enough water to completely cover tails).
    Return to a boil, reduce the heat and then simmer for 5-6 minutes .
    Carefully remove the lobster from shell.
    Cut in half, lengthwise.
    Place the lobster tails end to end inside the beef pocket.
    Combine 1 tbsp.
    butter and lemon juice.
    Pour over the lobster.
    Close the meat around the lobster and tie securely with string at 1 inch intervals.
    Place the meat on the oven rack in a shallow roasting pan.
    Bake for 45-50 minutes for rare meat.
    (Increase the time if you like your meat cooked more.) Lay the bacon slices on top of the roast.
    Bake for 5 minutes more.
    In a saucepan, cook green onion in 1/2 cup butter over very low heat until tender, stirring frequently.
    Add the wine and garlic salt and heat through.
    To serve: Slice the meat and then spoon the sauce over it.
    Garnish with fresh mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and parsley, if desired.
