Grilled lobster and steak, luxury surf and turf dish
An indulgent pairing of tender steak and sweet grilled lobster.

Luxury surf and turf

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
'Surf and Turf', the meeting of wave and turf on the plate, is the embodiment of luxury. The earthy, deep flavour of beef and the sweet, briny freshness of lobster are opposite poles that nevertheless attract. This dish is also a play on textures: the fibrous bite of steak meets the elastic, juicy meat of the lobster. A festive dish where timing is the most important conductor.

Instructions

1 ✓

Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Rub with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Tip: Room temperature meat cooks more evenly than if the centre is still cold (Heat distribution).
2 ✓

Mix the melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush the meaty side of the halved lobsters with it.

Tip: The butter not only flavours but also protects the lobster meat from drying out on the grill.
3 ✓

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

Tip: Use a meat thermometer: 52°C is the target for medium-rare. Don't pierce with a fork so the juices stay inside!
4 ✓

When the steak is half done, place the lobsters on the grill, cut side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then turn over, brush again with the butter mixture, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the meat is white and firm.

Tip: Lobster cooks faster than thick steak, so add it later so they are ready at the same time.
5 ✓

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

Tip: The acidity of the lemon cuts through the richness of the butter and beef, refreshing the overall effect (Flavour balance).

Recipe FAQ

How do I know the lobster is done?
Lobster meat is translucent when raw, and opaque white and firmer to the touch when cooked. If overcooked, it becomes rubbery, so watch the colour change!
What steak should I choose?
Fillet steak (tenderloin) is the most tender, sirloin is more flavourful. Both are good choices.
