Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the fingerling potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and tender.

  2. 2

    Grill the Broccolini

    While the potatoes are roasting, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Toss the broccolini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lobster or Crab

    If using lobster, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until bright red. If using Dungeness crab, ensure it's already cooked and just needs reheating. You can steam it for a few minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Season the NY Strip steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garlic Lemon Butter

    Melt 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Remove from heat and mix in juice from the lemon and chopped parsley.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the grilled steak, lobster or crab, grilled broccolini, and roasted fingerling potatoes. Drizzle the garlic lemon butter over the steak and seafood. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
