Surf And Turf Asian Style Recipes

SURF AND TURF

Steps:

• Season the steak with salt and pepper.
• Steam the snow crab legs in a steamer for 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, fire up a grill and grill each side of the steak for 3 minutes. Turn over to the other site and grill for 3 minutes, for medium well.
• Plate the steak and the crab legs on two plates, garnish with parsley. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

ASIAN SURF AND TURF

Steps:

• Prepare Steak: If moist, pat steak dry using paper towels. Thinly slice against grain into 1/4 inch thick strips (Note 5), and toss with corn starch in large bowl until well coated. Set aside.
• Prepare Shrimp: Peel and remove veins from shrimp. If moist, pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
• Make Sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to small saucepan. Occasionally stirring, bring to simmer over medium-low heat, about 5 minutes. Once simmering, reduce to low heat to keep sauce warm; meanwhile, proceed to next step.
• Cook Steak: Heat oil in large wide pan (Note 6) over medium heat for a few minutes or until hot. Add sliced beef to hot pan and cook until mostly browned, a few minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to plate.
• Cook Shrimp: Add shrimp to now-empty pan in single layer. Cook until turning pink around edges, then flip and cook for another minute or until cooked through.
• Finish & Serve: Return beef to pan and pour sauce on top. Stir for a minute to let beef and shrimp soak up sauce. Turn off heat. Stir in scallions and serve immediately (Note 7).

SURF AND TURF

Steps:

• 1. Heat a heavy based pot until hot. Add the butter, garlic and prawns and stir fry until prawns are half cooked, set aside.
• 2. Mix the stock powder and hot water together until powder is well disolved. Add to cream.
• 3. Using the same pot, heat the cream mixture until hot. Stir constantly. Do not allow to boil.
• 4. Add the parsley and prawns. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• 5. Mix cornflour and cold water together. Add to pot to thicken.
• 6. Continue to cook until prawns are cooked through.
• 7. Serve over cooked steaks with potato chips or wedges and a green salad.

STEAK WITH CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear/grill steaks for 4-5 minutes each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
• Transfer steaks to a warm plate; set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet (if using a skillet). Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and sear until just cooked and pink -- about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.(For grill: grill seasoned shrimp while brushing with melted butter until done.)
• To the same skillet, add the remaining butter, add the garlic, sauté until fragrant (about one minute). (If grilling meats, you will need to grab a pan or skillet for this step.)
• Pour in the white wine (or broth), and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally. Add in the parmesan cheese; allow to melt through the simmering sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the shrimp back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and stir through.
• Serve with steaks.

SURF AND TURF FOR TWO

Steps:

• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, butter, onion, wine, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, and black pepper together in a bowl; add shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with steak seasoning.
• Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and have reached your desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

SURF AND TURF, ASIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Pat the meat dry then coat on both sides with 2 tablespoons of oil and set aside.
• Combine the 1/4 cup scallions, 1 tablespoon ginger and 1 tablespoon garlic in a small bowl; in another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and rice wine; in a 2-cup measure, combine the broth, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and the sesame oil; place all the bowls near the stove.
• Combine the chopped shrimp, Szechuan pepper, 1/3 cup scallions, 2 teaspoon ginger, 2 teaspoons garlic and 2 teaspoons soy sauce in a small bowl, this is your topping; mix it well and set aside.
• Broil the steaks until seared and nicely browned on one side, about 4 minutes; turn and broil 3 minutes more; spread the shrimp topping evenly over each filet then continue to broil the meat until the topping is opaque and has begun to brown, about 1 minute (the steaks will be medium rare); transfer the steaks to a warm platter or 4 warm plates.
• While the steaks are cooking, heat a wok or skillet and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the scallion-ginger-garlic mixture to the wok; stir until the scallions soften, about 30 seconds, then add the liquids in the measuring cup; bring to a boil; stir up the cornstarch mixture and stir it into the wok; when the sauce thickens, about 1 minute, spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto each steak and pass the remainder of the sauce at the table.
• Note- for my husband and me, I used 2 8-oz filets (because we're pigs) and did not halve the seafood and sauce mixture; the cooking time was roughly doubled and the steaks turned out medium to medium rare.

SURF AND TURF - GULF COAST STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Open fish basket, or similar wire cooking basket and line one side with strips of bacon, leaving a 1/2 inch space between slices. Cover the layer of bacon with a layer of onion rings. Place the fish fillets on top of the onion. Cover fish with more onion, then strips of bacon over the onion. Close the basket, and lightly sprinkle with soy sauce.
• Place the basket on the hot grill, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the bacon is just cooked through. Remove from grill, and open the basket. Place a similarly sized plate upside down onto the food, and flip the basket and plate over so that the food is on top of the plate. Lift off the basket, and serve.
