- 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
- ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
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.
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.
