Recipe: Lobster and Steak Combo (broiled lobster tails, sirloin and tomatoes, 1970's)

LOBSTER AND STEAK COMBO


4 frozen medium lobster tails, thawed
1 lb. beef sirloin steak, 1-inch thick
2 tomatoes, halved
FOR SERVING:
Melted butter or margarine
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Set oven control at broil and/or 550 degrees F. Cut away thin under shell of lobster tails with kitchen scissors. Bend each tail backward toward shell to crack. (This prevents tails from curling while they broil.) Place lobster tails shell side up on broiler rack.

Diagonally slash outer edge of fat on steak at 1-inch intervals. Place steak on rack with lobster.

Broil 3-inches from heat 7 minutes.

Season steak with salt and pepper; turn steak and lobster tails. Place tomato halves on broiler rack; brush lobster and tomatoes with butter.

Broil 7 minutes longer. Season steak with salt and pepper.

Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

Makes 4 servings
