Sear lobster halves on each side for 1 minute. Add in another tablespoon of compound butter, turn lobster shells tail hard shell side down and place a lid over the pan.
Steam on medium low heat for 3-5 minutes or until shells have turned bright red. Serve with fresh lemon if desired.
While lobster is cooking, heat a separate medium sized pan with 3 tablespoons of compound butter on medium heat. Add in a couple of peeled garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to melted butter.
