Father’s Day Surf & Turf
Grilled New York strip with a bold Let’s Get After It butter drizzle, served alongside a garlic-buttered lobster tail kissed by flame. Big flavor, clean lines, and built for the ones who taught us to do things right.
Ingredients
Grilled New York Strip Steak
- 1 New York strip steak (about 1¼ inches thick per person)
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Let’s Get After It Rub
Let’s Get After It Brown Butter & White Wine Drizzle
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Let’s Get After It Rub
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- Optional: ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Optional: pinch of cracked black pepper
Grilled Buttered Lobster Tail
- 1 lobster tail per person (5–6 oz)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Let’s Get After It Rub
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Build the Steak: Remove steak from fridge 30–60 minutes before cooking. Pat dry. Lightly coat with olive oil and season generously with Let’s Get After It Rub.
- Grill Hot and Clean: Preheat grill to high (450–500°F). Sear 2–3 minutes per side over direct heat, then move to indirect heat and cook another 3–5 minutes for medium-rare (130°F internal). Rest 5–10 minutes, loosely tented.
- Make the Brown Butter Drizzle: Melt butter over medium heat until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Lower heat. Stir in garlic and Let’s Get After It Rub for 30 seconds. Add white wine and reduce 1–2 minutes. Whisk in Dijon if using. Keep warm.
- Prep the Lobster: Cut down the top shell with kitchen shears. Gently lift the meat and rest it on top of the shell while still attached.
- Build the Butter: Mix melted butter, garlic, Let’s Get After It Rub, and paprika (if using). Brush generously over lobster meat.
- Grill the Lobster: Preheat grill to medium-high. Place lobster tails meat-side up over indirect heat. Grill with lid closed 8–10 minutes, until opaque and lightly browned. Target internal temp: 135–140°F.
- Finish Strong: Slice the rested steak. Spoon warm brown butter drizzle over the top. Finish lobster with a fresh squeeze of lemon.
Chef Paddy’s Tip
- Let the rub lead: Let’s Get After It brings salt, pepper, garlic, and that clean punch—build your crust and let it speak.
- Brown butter is the move: That nutty depth takes this from backyard to steakhouse without changing the DNA of the dish.
- Lobster rule: Don’t flip it. Don’t rush it. Pull it right at temp and let the butter carry it home.
Let’s cook with heart and hustle.
