Instructions
To
make the Spicy Garlic Chimichurri Butter, add the roasted garlic to a
medium bowl and finely mash it with a fork. You can also use a knife to
mash the garlic into a paste. To the bowl, add the butter and mix it in
with the garlic. Add the shallot, anchovy, fresno chile, cilantro,
parsley, oregano and salt. Mix well. Keep the butter room temp if using
right away or store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To
make the steak and lobster, combine the paprika, coriander brown sugar,
garlic, cayenne and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Season
the steaks all over with the spices.
Use
kitchen shears or a very sharp knife, cut the lobster tail right down
the center. Rub the flesh of the lobster with olive oil, season with
salt + pepper.
Heat
a grill, grill pan or cast iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, place
the steaks on the grates, cook until desired doneness, about 5-8
minutes (depending on thickness) for medium-rare, per side.
About
five minutes before the steaks are done cooking, place the lobster,
flash side down on the hot grill (or pan), cook for about 5 minutes and
then flip the tails over and spread the chimichurri butter over the
tails. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes or until the shells are
bright red. Remove both the steak and tails from the heat.
To
serve, place the hot steaks on a platter, add a good dollop of the
chimichurri butter and the lobster tails. Serve with french fries and
salt. Enjoy!
