Surf and Turf Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the lobster tails. Boil for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove and let cool. Once cooled, split the tails and remove the meat. In a pan, melt half the butter and add the lobster meat. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make Lobster Bordelaise

    In a saucepan, sauté shallots in olive oil until softened. Add red wine and simmer until reduced by half. Add remaining butter and lobster meat, stirring until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sirloin

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steaks with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from the grill and let rest.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Make Potato Purée

    Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with heavy cream and remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a scoop of potato purée, a serving of sautéed spinach, the grilled sirloin, and top with lobster and lobster bordelaise.
