Classic Surf and Turf: Grilled Lobster & Steak

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
'Surf and Turf' is the embodiment of dining luxury. The earthy depth of beef meets the sweet, briny freshness of lobster—opposing poles that attract. It's also a play on textures: the fibrous bite of steak meets the springy, juicy meat of lobster. A festive dish where timing is everything.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Meat thermometer
  • Basting brush

Allergen Information

⚠️ Shellfish (Lobster)
⚠️ Milk (Butter)

Instructions

1 ✓

Take steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper generously.

Tip: Room temperature meat cooks more evenly than cold meat.
2 ✓

Mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley. Brush onto the flesh side of the halved lobsters.

Tip: Butter not only flavors but protects the delicate lobster meat from drying out.
3 ✓

Preheat grill to medium-high. Place steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare).

Tip: Use a thermometer: 125°F is the goal for medium-rare. Don't pierce with a fork to keep juices in.
4 ✓

When steaks are halfway done, place lobsters flesh-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes, flip, baste with butter again, and grill another 2-3 minutes until meat is white and firm.

Tip: Lobster cooks faster than thick steak, so stagger the start times so they finish together.
5 ✓

Remove steaks and rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle lobster with lemon juice. Serve together immediately.

Tip: Lemon acidity cuts through the richness of the butter and beef fat.

Recipe FAQ

How do I know the lobster is done?
Raw lobster meat is translucent; cooked meat is opaque white and firm. If overcooked, it becomes rubbery, so watch the color change!
Which steak should I choose?
Filet Mignon (Tenderloin) is the tenderest; Sirloin or Ribeye has more flavor. Both work well.
