Method

- 2 steaks
- 2 lobster tails
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cowboy Butter Candles
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced/grated
- 1 tbsp. + herbal seasoning
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
- Food-safe wicks, 100% cotton butcher’s twine or hemp
- The day before, cream together the butter, garlic, herbal seasoning, paprika, mustard, and season to taste with salt. The herbal seasoning that I am using is a chive and dill mixture with lemon peel, but feel free to use your favorites.
- You can use disposable cups or large ice cube molds. Poke a hole in the bottom of a disposable cup, thread the wick through the hole, and tie a small knot in the bottom. Fill the cup with butter leaving enough wick out the top to light. If using ice cube molds, hang a wick, tied to a chopstick or skewer into the mold, fill with butter, and smooth the top, ensuring the wick is fairly centered.
- Freeze or chill until ready to use, remove from the mold, and light the wick.
- Season your steaks with salt and pepper and leave them to sit for at least 40 minutes
- Preheat your barbecue to 300°F (149°C) creating a two-zone fire, two burners on and two off
- Once up to temperature, place the steaks on the off side of the barbecue to slowly cook. Cook your steak to an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C) – rare. Remove from the grill. Turn your burners up to high, preheating the grill to at least 400°F (205°C)
- For the surf part of the meal, cut the lobster shell down the top to expose the flesh, carefully pull the shell apart, and slide a wooden skewer through the length of the body to ensure they remain flat. Season to taste with salt and a brush of butter
- Place the steak and lobster over direct heat, cooking the steak for about 2 minutes per side, until grill marks form. Start the lobster meat side down for 4 to 5 minutes then flip and finish for 5 minutes until 140°F (60°C) inside and opaque
- Rest the steak for at least 10 minutes while you set up for serving. Unwrap or demold your candles. Place the lobster onto the boards, then slice your steaks and lay them out. Add your favorite seasonal side dish, and light the candles.
