Grilled Steak & Lobster

Serves4

Trust me, no one will be disappointed….

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 – 6 ounce steaks
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 whole lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 4 lobster tails

DIRECTIONS 

  1. Remove steaks and tails from fridge 30 minutes before cooking
  2. Meanwhile, combine butter, thyme, mustard, lemon juice, garlic & salt in small pot over low heat until melted – keep warm.
  3. Using kitchen shears, cut right up the middle of the shell towards the tail, but not through the tail. Using the cut as your guide, use a knife to cut down through the meat but not through the bottom shell. Pull back the sides of the shell to expose the meat and brush well with the butter mixture – set aside.
  4. Heat grill to medium/high, rub steaks with olive oil, season with salt & pepper and cook about 5 minutes, flip and cook another 4 minutes or until done to your liking. Remove steaks from grill, cover with foil and let rest about 10 minutes.
  5. Place tails meat-side down for approximately 5-6 minutes, then turn and cook another 3-4 minutes or until done – basting of course. Serve steak and lobster with extra butter sauce

Raspberry Napoleon

Serves 2

Traditionally, a Napoleon pastry is three layers of layers of cream pâtissière, whatever that is. The top is usually glazed with icing or fondant in alternating white and brown strips. This is nothing like that...but then you already figured that right?

Ingredients

  • One 10 ounce bag frozen raspberries, defrosted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • One small basket fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipping cream
  • 1 sheet frozen pie dough, defrosted

Directions

  1. Put defrosted raspberries in a blender with sugar and lemon juice, blend until smooth then set aside
  2. Cut pie dough into six 2.5 x 4" pieces
  3. Put dough slices in a medium hot non-stick pan and cook until light brown on each side, then remove from heat and let cool
  4. To make Napoleon, put a piece of dough on a plate, and top with a thin layer of whipping cream, then a layer of raspberries then another light layer of cream
  5. Repeat another layer on top - dough, cream, raspberries, cream and a final dough piece
  6. Drizzle raspberry sauce over the top and dust with powdered sugar – serve.
