A surf and turf question

Unknown

I'm planning to serve filet mignons and lobster tails for New Years eve. Can I cook the tails on the BGE or should I stick with my tried and true stove top pot of boiling water? If egged, what temps and tricks can you folks give me?
BTW in spite of record setting snow for the month my trusty snow shovel has helped keep my eggs in regular use. I start a four day eggin memu tonight of pizza, baby backs Sat, filets Sun, and chili on New Years Monday, which is a family tradition. Egg on, Brothers and Sisters, egg on!

one feral kat,[p]I'll be doing filet and lobster tails myself for N'Year's Eve. Check out this recipe from our old buddy Houndog on the K forum. I will be attempting this one for the first time myself based on all the accolades I've heard about it.
How can this not be great??[p]K~G

KennyG,
Follow the directions exactly. I tried to vary the ingredients twice and was disappointed both times. Also, don't add any wood; I learned that the hard way also.... Bone appétit! JCA

Mop,
Here is another wing recipe, from my cookbook, that always gets rave reviews. I'll admit that I usually do them in my convection oven, on baking sheets, so that I can do 10 pounds at a time. They can be cooked, indirect, on the BGE.[p]Mrs. Dog’s Chicken Wings (Great on breasts too!)[p]· 5 lbs. chicken wings
· 5 Tbls. olive oil
· 3-4 Tbls. Mrs Dog’s Jamaican Jerk Marinade
· 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese[p]• In a large bowl mix oil and jerk, add wings and marinate 2-24 hours -The LONGER the HOTTER...! Add cheese and mix well. See note below.[p]• Clean up is a snap if you cook these on those disposable/reusable aluminum pans with VVVV ridges (for broiling). Bake at 375° for about 40 minutes, turning once if necessary. Greatif done the day before & reheated on the BGE. [p] NOTE: I actually roll each wing in a bowl containing the Parmesan cheese.[p]Bone appétit! JCA[p]

KennyG

Julie,[p]Thanx for the headsup. What size tails did you do. The recipe calls for 1 pounders, but the ones I have are 7-8 oz. I am wondering if the temp or minutes per side should be adjusted for the smaller size.[p]K~G

KennyG, eggscellent question as I'm in the same boat. Also what did he mean about cutting the clear membrane off the belly of the tail exposing the meat? Mine sure aren't clear and they have the heavy strong ribs across them...is that the membrance referenced? Won't the meat fall out then?

Nature Boy

one feral kat,
The meat won't fall out, and you are talking about the right thing. A pair of kitchen shears works great, just cut thru the ribs the length of the tail. I would definitely ajust the times slightly from Houndog's 1 pounders. the last thing you want to do is overcook 100 bucks of lobster.[p]Cheers!

Nature Boy, thanks for the info...though momma kat had better not spent THAT much! ^oo^~

KennyG

one feral kat,[p]I'm gonna try 3 minutes per side at 400* for the 1/2 pounders. It should be apparent at flip time as to whether or not this will be enough. This cook might give me an anxiety attack. Fortunately, this is a dutch treat meal for 4 couples.[p]K~G
