Surf and Turf dinners provide the ultimate combination of both meat and seafood within one meal! When I think of surf and turf I think of extravagance or a 5-star restaurant and on a special occasion then why not recreate that experience at home. Surf and Turf Dinner is definitely not your every day meal so why not go all out! This meal may seem ‘exhausting’ or ‘time-consuming’ but in actuality once you have gathered all of the ingredients it is fairly simple. This recipe is not hard to make even though it has a few elements but if you are anything like me and love to multi-task in the kitchen you will be done in no time. Also you will be shocked how straight forward searing your steak really is. If done right, your steak will be just perfect and juicy.

The seasonings in the meat and seafood are light and simple; as the flavours of the steak and lobster speak for themselves without needing much seasoning at all.

I do hope you enjoy this recipe and happy date night!
