Ingredients
Herb Butter:
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 lemon zested
- 2 tablespoons thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper or to taste
- 1 fig
Lobster:
- 2 lobster tails
- 3 Tablespoons herb butter above
- salt and pepper to taste
Steak
- 2 Fillets Mignons
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 4 cloves garlic smashed
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Baby tomatoes on the vine
Sides:
- Your choice of greens or potatoes
Notes
- Choose the steaks to be the same size so they cooke evenly.
- Ask your fish monger to prepare the lobster for you if you feel you need extra help and time.
- Make the herb butter up to 2 days in advance.
- Feel free to adjust the herb butter to your taste, adding more or less herbs and spices.
- It’s best to cook surf and turf the day of, so avoid cooking any of the meats ahead of time.
- If you buy cooked and steamed lobster, you can slather it with the herb butter and broil it for just 2 minutes. This adds so much flavor. And this is a great shortcut.
- When cooking the steak, since it’s an expensive cut, use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking it.
- We use a combo of butter and oil in searing the meat to maximize the flavor of butter while avoiding the butter burn.
- Ideally we use avocado oil as it has a high smoking point for all our searing.

- While we have loved this combo, there are many other delicious combos of surf and turf. They can be best to suit your taste, or far more affordable.
- Any leftovers can be stored separately in the fridge. So the steak separate from the seafood, separate from any side dish. Store the leftovers for 2-3 days at most.
- To reheat, we recommend wrapping the meat or seafood in foil. Reheat at 350 degrees in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes. While you can also microwave it, we don’t usually prefer.
- YES! You can grill the tenderloin steaks as per the Ribeye Steak instructions, follow the step by step and video. And for the lobster, we prefer cutting through the tail in half lengthwise. Then you can follow the How To Cook Crab Legs and cook on the grill.
- The absolute best dessert has to be this Molten Lava Cake. Hands down, you have to try it! With a secret tip that never fails, for a gooey center without ever underbaking your cake!
- Make sure to serve the steak and the lobster on top with plenty of the herb butter we made above. We added some of the wilted tomatoes on the vine, lemon slices and parmesan. Our absolute favorite side dishes include:
