21st Anniversary Surf & Turf - Redo

Sorry for the re-post, but I didn't realize my pics weren't showing up... I think I did some photo editing on Photobucket after I posted.... a no-no for sure. So here goes again.

Actually the special date isn't until next week, but my honey is having some dental work done, so we upped it a bit while she can still enjoy it. The T-bones I found in the back of the freezer, vacu-sealed and just waiting to get seared. The lobster tails were caught fresh one day earlier.

I had tried the "dwell in the shell" method last year, but had some problems with the lobster not getting done nearly enough. So this time, I cracked the shells, brought the tail meat out on top, like the restaurants do, and did them next to the steaks. Fantastic!

The T bones after the sear & dwell, grilling for 5 min @ 425°, then a flip for 5 more.


Added the tails for 10 min @ 425° ( they needed an extra 5 min at the end)
Used some Shakin The Tree plus a light sprinkle of paprika, and of course garlic butter with parsley.


The steaks were done, but the tails needed another 5 min.


Finished the plate with some crushed potatoes and sliced tomatoes.
Sorry no pics on the plate. I was so thrilled it was all done at the same time, we just started eating! One of our best anniversary dinners yet!
