| I found
this recipe in a magazine as a
dinner for dad and with Father's Day
approaching soon (in the USA), I had
to try it. I fixed it for my wife
for Mother's Day! We both enjoyed
it. Puts a whole new meaning to
“Surf and Turf”. This recipe is for
2 steaks. |

PREPARATION:
Fill
saucepan halfway with water. Bring
to a boil. Place lobster tails in
boiling water for exactly 4
minutes. Remove from water and set
aside to cool. Cook bacon in saute
pan until crisp. Transfer to paper
towel saving 2 tbsp of the grease.
Add the scallions and mushrooms to
the same pan and cook until
mushrooms are softened. Without
removing the mixture, deglaze pan
with the sherry and cook until it
evaporates. Remove pan from heat
and stir in the lobster, crackers
and bacon. Season with salt and
pepper.
To prepare the steak, trim excess
fat, leaving about 1/8 inch. Cut a
pocket into the steak starting
about 1 inch from the end to 1
inch at the other end, cut
horizontally (Do not cut all the
way through the steaks). Stuff
half the lobster mixture into each
steak and press them closed.
Secure with toothpicks if
necessary, just remember to remove
them before serving! Season steaks
with salt and pepper.
Heat the large skillet over medium
high heat until warmed. Add enough
canola oil to cover the bottom.
When oil smokes lightly add steaks
and sear for appx 4 minutes (for
medium rare). Gently flip steak
and do the same for the other
side. Remove from skillet to a
platter and tent for 5 minutes
before serving.
HINTS: These can be
grilled if you prefer, just be
sure to have the grill hot enough
to put a nice sear on the steaks.
Be careful when you flip them so
you don't lose the filling. Shrimp
could be used in this recipe in
place of the lobster. |
