Surf and Turf
Surf and Turf is the popular name for a Lobster and Steak meal.
We had Surf and Turf for Valentine’s Day dinner and talk about good. It was like finger licking good and really simple.
So, don’t be intimidated by the thought of cooking lobster.
If you can boil water or light up a grill, you’re halfway there. Give it a try!
Surf and Turf will definitely impress!
Surf and Turf Ingredients
2 lobster tails (fresh or frozen)
2 petite beef filets (tenderloins)
1/2 stick butter
Chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Tony’s Creole Seasoning
Lime or lemon juice
Surf and Turf Cooking Directions
- Melt butter. Add lime juice, green onions and garlic. Stir well. Turn heat to low.
- Take thawed lobster tails and using kitchen scissors cut the tails down the middle either on the belly side or the outside. We cut open the belly side since it was softer.
- With a sharp knife, cut the tail meat down the middle.
- With a brush or a spoon coat the tails with the lime butter sauce.
- Run a skewer through each tail for easier handling on the grill and keeps from curling.
- Place lobster tails and petite filets on a platter. Season with sea salt, garlic powder and Tony’s.
- Place evenly on grill.
- Grill the lobsters for 5 minutes each side.
- Grill the Filets for 8-10 minutes each side.
- Return to a platter and bring inside.
- Pour lime butter sauce over the lobster tails or pour the lime butter sauce in custard cups for dipping the lobster meat.
Surf and Turf Serving Suggestions
Serve with a steamed vegetable, Twice Baked Potatoes or Homemade Macaroni & Cheese.

Thanks for the great advice on grilling lobster tails. My husband and I both love to do the surf and turf as a treat but instead of eating out, we do it at home.
I have never wanted to experiment with the lobster tails on the grill since the one time we tried grilling them and they weren’t the best. So I was happy to see a detailed explanation of how to do lobster tails on the barbeque including how long to leave them on.
That’s great advice about using a skewer to keep them from curling up because that happened to us before too. I’m definitely going to try the lime butter as well. Sounds even more flavorful than just regular butter.
