A Gourmet’s Delight: The Surf and Turf
The term “Surf and Turf” often brings to mind a fancy restaurant, a special occasion, or a gourmet’s kitchen. It’s a delightful combination of flavors from the land and the sea, typically comprising a high-quality cut of beef and a premium selection of seafood. Today, let’s bring the elegance of this dish into your home with this detailed recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 10-ounce Ribeye Steaks
- 2 Lobster Tails
- 4 Tablespoons of Melted Butter
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
- Fresh Parsley, for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to a high heat, about 450-500 degrees F.
- While the grill is preheating, prepare your steaks. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, then season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Slice down the back of the Lobster Tails with a sharp knife, but be careful not to cut all the way through. Open the tails slightly and brush them with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Place your steaks and lobster on the grill. For medium-rare steaks, grill for about 5 minutes on each side. Lobster tails should be placed flesh side down first, grilling for about 5 minutes, then flipped and grilled for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the shell becomes red and the flesh is opaque.
- Remove your steaks and lobster from the grill. Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes and brush the lobster tails with the remaining butter.
- To serve, plate the steak and lobster tail together. Serve with a wedge of lemon and garnish with fresh parsley.
This dish is a sublime duo of rich flavors – a succulent, buttery lobster tail matched perfectly with a tender, juicy steak. Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or simply want a treat, this Surf and Turf recipe will make any dinner feel like a night at a fine-dining restaurant, right in the comfort of your own home.
