ABC's Home Economics: Connor’s Triple Threat Surf & Turf
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 55 minutes
- Servings: 4
- Preparation Time: 25 minutes
- Steak & Shrimp:
- 2 unpeeled large russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 lb asparagus spears, trimmed (TIP: use larger spears)
- 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
- 1 grass-fed beef T-bone steak (1 lb)
- 2 tablespoons organic tomato paste (from 6-oz can)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 lb uncooked deveined peeled extra-large shrimp (16 to 20 per lb), with tails left on (TIP: the bigger they are the more impressive the presentation)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- Champagne Lobster
- 1 cup water
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 3 cups champagne
- 2 lobsters
DIRECTIONS
- Position oven rack 4 inches from broiler. Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
- In pie plate or shallow dish, mix potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the salt. Spread potatoes in single layer on pan. Roast 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and the asparagus; set aside.
- Prep Champagne Lobster. You will cook it for 12 minutes, so try to time it so everything is done at the same time. Pour the water into the bottom of a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper, and salt to the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the champagne and return the mixture to a boil. Place the lobsters in a steamer basket and lower into the pot. Steam the lobsters until they turn a bright red color, about 12 minutes.
- Back to the veggies and steak. Transfer potatoes on to the 18x13-inch sheet pan you sprayed earlier, making room for asparagus and steak. Add asparagus to pan.
- On the pie plate you made the potatoes with, mix 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the grill seasoning; add steak, and turn to coat.
- Add steak to sheet pan, and pour any remaining butter mixture from pie plate over steak; put sheet pan in oven and roast for 9 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Set oven control to broil. Turn steak.
- Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter, the tomato paste and mustard. Add shrimp; toss to coat. Add shrimp in single layer to sheet pan around steak and potatoes, placing on top of vegetables as needed. Broil 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through and steak is cooked to desired temperature (135°F for medium). Top with herbs.
- Take everything out - and voila! A triple threat surf & Turf.
