*Ingredients:*

For the steak:
– 2 boneless ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, crushed
– 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or thyme)
– 2 tbsp butter (for basting)

For the lobster tails:
– 2 lobster tails
– 2 tbsp melted butter
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tsp lemon juice
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley or herbs, finely chopped (for garnish)

 

*Instructions:*

1. *Prepare the steak:*
– Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
– Season the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
– Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and rub it in evenly.
– Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust based on your preferred doneness.
– In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add a sprig of rosemary and a crushed garlic clove to the grill pan, then add butter. Baste the steak with the melted butter for extra flavor.
– Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into pieces.

2. *Prepare the lobster tails:*
– Preheat the grill to medium heat.
– Using kitchen shears, cut along the top of each lobster tail shell and gently pull it apart to expose the meat. Leave the tail shell intact at the bottom.
– Brush the lobster meat with melted butter and season with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
– Place the lobster tails on the grill, shell side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque and slightly charred.
– Remove from the grill and carefully pull the meat from the shell, keeping it intact.

3. *Plate the surf and turf:*
– On each plate, arrange the sliced grilled steak and lobster tails side by side.
– Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or other fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
– Optionally, drizzle a little extra melted butter over the steak and lobster for added richness.

4. *Serve:*
– Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete and indulgent meal.
