Surf And Turf With Grilled Vegetables Recipes

GRILLED SURF AND TURF SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, place in water and soak for at least 1 hour prior to grilling so they don't catch fire. I prefer to use reusable metal skewers for the grill
• Defrost shrimp if frozen
• Mince garlic
• Cube sirloin into bite-size cubes
• Add shrimp to one bowl and cubed steak to another
• Toss the shrimp in avocado oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic
• Toss the steak cubes in avocado oil, coconut aminos, and minced garlic
• Cover the two bowls and let marinate in the fridge for about an hour
• Skewer the shrimp and steak on separate skewers
• Heat the grill over medium-high heat
• When the grill is warm, add the skewers to the grill
• Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes each side and remove from grill
• Cook the steak for about 12 minutes total rotating every 3 minutes - keep the grill closed between rotations
• Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes prior to eating!

GRILLED SURF AND TURF

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir with a fork.
• Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap and place the butter onto the plastic wrap. Slowly form into a log about 1 1/2 inches wide. Cover the log with the plastic wrap tightly and twist the edges. Place into the refrigerator to harden until ready to use.
• When ready to grill the lobster tails, cut 4 teaspoon size medallions. Store any excess compound butter in the fridge for later use (great on grilled steak and pork!)
• Prepare the grill for two zone or direct/indirect cooking with lump charcoal. Target 450 - 500 degrees Fahrenheit over the direct heat.
• While the grill heats up, combine the salt and pepper in a small bowl. Coat the steaks with olive oil and dust them with some of the salt and pepper. Save some of the seasoning for the lobster.
• Prepare the lobster by placing the lobster tails on a cutting board with the hard shell facing up. Using a chef knife or kitchen shears, gently cut the shell starting about 1/2 inch from the tail and working your way to the side that is open with the meat. Take care not to cut all the way through the other side.
• Gently open the shell, exposing the meat using two hands. You will hear some cracking. Remove any shell that may break from the meat.
• Season the flesh of the lobster tails with the remaining salt and pepper. (no olive oil needed)
• Place the steaks over direct heat for 5 minutes and cover the grill. Flip the steak over, cover grill, and grill for another 5 minutes. Then move to the indirect side and cover. Continue grilling over indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. We like 125 degrees F for rare (about 8 minutes). Remove and let rest for 10 minutes and place one teaspoon of the butter on each steak while resting (it will slowly start to melt into the meat).
• While the steak is resting grill the lobster.
• Place the lobster tails over direct heat, meat side down for approximately 5 minutes or until it gently pulls away from the grill without sticking.
• After flipping add about a 1 heaping teaspoon medallion of the compound butter over the meat. Grill for an additional 3 - 4 minutes over direct heat. The butter will slowly melt. When the internal temperature of the lobster meat reaches 135 degrees F it is done.
• After removing from the grill, place another teaspoon medallion of butter on the lobster meat and then serve warm with your favorite sides.

SKEWERED SURF AND TURF WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Blend first 5 ingredients in blender until smooth. Reserve half the dressing mixture to serve with the grilled shrimp and meat.
• Grill vegetables 10 min. or until crisp-tender, turning and brushing occasionally with some of the remaining dressing mixture. Meanwhile, thread steak onto 5 skewers and thread shrimp onto 5 separate skewers. Add to grill along with vegetables. Grill 5 to 7 min. or until shrimp turn pink and steak is done, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining dressing mixture.
• Remove vegetables from grill; cut off stems and remove seeds from peppers. Chop all vegetables into 1-inch pieces. Place on serving platter. Top with shrimp and steak skewers. Drizzle with reserved dressing mixture.

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.

SURF AND TURF SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Cut the steak and lobster tail meat into 1-inch chunks. Alternating between steak and lobster, skewer the meat onto four 12-inch skewers (about 4 pieces of steak and 3 pieces of lobster on each skewer); set aside.
• To make the spice rub, mix together the salt, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper and thyme in a small bowl.
• Drizzle or brush the skewers with the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the skewers with the spice rub.
• Grill the skewers, brushing them with the melted butter and turning about every minute, until the lobster is cooked through and the steak is rare, 4 to 5 minutes total. Allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before enjoying.

SURF AND TURF WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• For the herb butter: Combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, parsley, butter and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Keep at room temperature for topping the steak before serving.
• For the salad: Prepare an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the corn until well-marked, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then slice the kernels off and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the oregano leaves, tomato, onion, zucchini, Fresno chile, feta, olive oil, vinegar and salt to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
• For the surf and turf: Toss the prawns with the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in another medium bowl and let marinade while grilling the steaks. Massage the strip steaks with olive oil and sprinkle each side with salt. Grill the steaks until well-marked and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Let the steaks rest and grill the prawns until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Divide the steaks, prawns and salad between 2 plates. Top the steaks with a spoonful of the herb butter.
