Surf n Turf - Butter Garlic Broiled Lobster Tail with Filet Mignon

Life with Chris has been like an adventure in so many aspects. We came from different background; we lived different lifestyles; we enjoyed different food. We were born and brought up in the cities 7000 miles apart. But some things we share in common, the love for each other, a cute baby boy, an open mind for new stuff, a passionate appetite when it comes to food.

Chris is a meat lover, not the type of meat you find in a Chinese stir-fry dish but a whole big piece that covers 3/4 of an entrée plate. I, on the other hand, love seafood a lot. From steamed fish to pan-seared shrimps, from Cantonese style to Japanese sashimi, as long as it's seafood, I'll try it. We always joke about the fact that one steak meal he eats probably equals to my meat consumption for an entire month! But ever since Chris cooked me a steak dinner for our first date, guess who can finish a whole piece of Costco steak and wait for dessert now?

To cooperate both of our preference in one meal as we always do, we made this steak and lobster dish the other day. Chris marinated the meat a couple of hours before putting it on the grill. Oh yes, the grill, with smoking hot charcoals. Each steak was wrapped with bacon so that when cooked, the bacon flavor can get into the steak. Did I mention we LOVE bacon? Whenever there's a chance for bacon, we go with it! The steak was tender, juicy and flavorful. For the lobster tail, just a simple butter garlic rub and broil in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes. The only technical part was to pull the lobster meat out of the shell without breaking it so that it looks great in my pictures...Sure enough, they looked so yummy and tasted sweet and buttery, great texture and absolutely delicious!
