I'll start by saying that this was a nonstop rolling type of cook. It took a total of about 1.5hr from the time of lighting the lump to service.

It all started out with Boneless Ribeyes, NY Strips, Warm Water Atlantic Lobster, Sea Scallops and Corn on the Cob. Prep»» Steaks were a simple kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Lobster w/ sweet cream butter, Scallops with blackening and a little lime.

imageimageimage

Steaks»»»all 4 raised direct at 375℉ until to desired IT. And then to a rest.
image

While the c.o.t.c went on raised direct with the CI skillet below preheating (took about 15 minutes). Pulled the c.o.t.c. and the raised grid. Next»»»on the CI skillet at 425℉ with a little sweet cream butter the sea scallops went on. And then the lobster.


imageimageimage


3 of the steaks got reverse seared on the CI grid at about 650℉. And then mine went in for my first ever caveman.
imageimageimageimageimage


Lastly plated. Enjoy B-)

    @Jeremiah‌ I'll most definitely be doing the caveman for myself and possibly my Son again. I liked it a lot. Although I think I get close to the same result using a CI skillet sear as far as a crispy crust. But, it was definitely money. :-)

    Oh Man!! Three of my favorite things to eat all in one meal. I cooked scallops and of course steaks, but never lobster . I've only eaten lobster in restaurants. I have to try it on my egg one day.

    @TigerTony‌ Thanks B-). I've done lobster a few times and I've done them several different ways. On the CI skillet gave a nice light crust with a deep flavor. Once ya try it on the egg you'll be hooked. The prep is key to an okay vs a great lobster IMHO.

    You said prep is key to a great lobster. Would you give farther detail on how you prepped? Wanting to grill some myself . I always boil and there is virtually no prep for boiling. Don't want to mess up when I grill them. Thanks in advance.

    @SGH‌ Prep on tails. Several ways to do it and I've done both. Easier to visualize so here are some decent references. This chef references using imitation crab on the stuffing but, I use a blue crab chunk similar to which you would use in a crab cake. And one more I like for sauce. The last one uses a live Maine Lobster which is awesome but, I did this same recipe with a warm water lobster and did it using the tails (whatever you have available). There are tons of good recipes and these are just a few I've used with excellent results.

    That last video looks like the ticket. Going to try that for sure. Stuffing and all. Thanks for all the videos.

    Meal looks good.

    On that crab cake video: The only thing he does right is use Maryland blue crab. Way too many bread crumbs, Worcestershire and mustard are necessary, along with Old Bay. Plus onions. Dafuq?

    I used blue crab big lump chunks and some shredded for my crab cakes. Think I posted a discussion when I did it. Good stuff. FL has some excellent blue crabs.

    I was going to agree that the Husker bottle opener was the prettiest picture of all.  We just returned from a road trip from Tampa Bay to Lincoiln/Omaha and back!

    Thanks @Phatchris‌ & @DMW‌
    @thetrim‌ hopefully "the bottle opener" is not my prettiest food pic or stick a fork in me I'm done. ;) lol. (assuming you are more referencing to the the Beautiful State of Nebraska B-) ). Agree!
    Sounds like an excellent road trip! Sounds like you enjoyed your trip to NE The Great Plains. Originally from there? I ask because not to many people pack up to drive from FL to NE otherwise :-). And yes GBR!!!
