Ingredients

  • 4 Lobster Tails
  • 1 pound steak tenderloin or ribeye
  • ½ cup butter
  • 6 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground rosemary
  • 2 teaspoon koshers salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare a grill fire to about 300° using hickory wood for smoke flavor.
  • 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 in 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 and red pepper.
  • Top each lobster tail with garlic butter. 
  • Place lobster tails (meat side up) over indirect fire.
  • Cook with the grill lid closed for about 10 – 12 minutes. 
  • Test internal temperature of  lobster tails using a digital thermometer, cooking to 145° internal temperature.

For the Steak:

  • Pat steak dry with paper towels. Cut into about 1 1/2 – 2 inch chunks. Thread onto skewers. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Spoon garlic butter over steak skewers.
  • Cook over indirect heat with the lobster tails. 
  • Continue to cook until steak is cooked to desired doneness – 130° for rare, 135° for medium.

Notes

Store lobster and steak bites 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.
