10 year anniversary surf & turf

My wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary Thursday with a night out but I still needed to cook something so tonight we celebrated again in a major way. Picked up some 2" NY strips (about 24oz apiece) and two lobster tails from Kroger. Just got a CI grate for my MM so I was dying to break it on proper.

 Brought the strips to room temp while I fired up the Larg. Brought the Large to 225 and threw on a couple chunks of cherry. While the steaks where approaching the target temp I fired up the MM and got it up to about 650. Once the strips reached 115 I pulled them and threw them on the sizzling hot MM (with new and improved grate in place). About 1.2--2 min. Per side (god I love my MM!). When they read 135 I pulled and topped with some garlic and herb butter before wrapping in foil to rest. 

While the steaks were resting I removed the plate setter from the large and threw on some squash and fresh corn. Meanwhile on the MM, I brought the temp down to 500 and added two lobster tails. Cooked 5 min. Meat down, flipped, added garlic and herb butter and cooked 4 min. 

The strips were amazing and the tails (first time) were excellent. All and all great meal to mark 10 years with an amazing woman.
