Ingredients

  • 4 Lobster Tails
  • 1 pound steak ribeye, tenderloin or strip
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 6 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground rosemary
  • 2 teaspoon koshers salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare a grill fire to 300° with hickory for smoke flavor.
  • Pat steak dry. Cut steak into bite sized pieces and thread onto skewers. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting down the center of the shell to the tail with kitchen shears but do not cut through the fin.
  • Carefully break the end sections off of the lobster shell and gently pull the shell apart. 
  • Loosen the lobster meat from the bottom shell gently, leaving it attached at the tail. Pull the meat above the shell and press the shell back together. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Prepare the garlic butter by adding butter and garlic to a small skillet. Cook over low heat until garlic starts to get brown and toasted. Stir in rosemary, salt and pepper. 
  • Remove from heat and whisk in brown sugar until melted. Set aside and cool slightly. 
  • Spoon garlic butter over steak and lobster tails.
  • Place lobster tails meat side up with steak skewers over indirect fire.
  • Cook with the grill lid closed for about 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Use a digital thermometer to test internal temperature of steak and lobster tails.
  • For rare steak bites, cook to 130° and for medium cook to 135°. Lobster should reach 145°.
  • Remove from grill when cooked to desired temperature to a platter and serve immediately.

Notes

Oven Directions:

Place lobster and steak on a baking sheet and place under the broiler about 4- 5 inches below the burner for about 8 - 10 minutes, watching them carefully. Cook lobster until it reaches 145° and steak to desired doneness, 130 - 135° for rare to medium rare. 

How to Store and Reheat:

Store leftover steak and lobster in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. 
Reheat in a 350° oven. Brush with butter and place in a baking dish. Cover with foil and cook about 5 - 10 minutes until heated through.
