Broiled Lobster Tail, Sea Salt Rubbed Buffalo Tri Tip Steaks and Baked Steak Fries

Today’s Menu: Broiled Lobster Tail, Sea Salt Rubbed Buffalo Tri Tip Steaks and Baked Steak Fries

For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin and topped it with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Woke up to a couple of inches of new snow. But that is only the start of it! They say we will have 9-11 inches of snow by Tuesday morning! Add that to 4 or 5 inches we had on the ground and you’re talking a lot of snow, especially for this area. But nothing you can do but sit back and wait. I just wish we weren’t living on a hill and the driveway wasn’t a hill it’s self. None of it good for a guy in a wheelchair! Enough rambling, for Dinner tonight I prepared Broiled Lobster Tail, Sea Salt Rubbed Buffalo Tri Tip Steaks and Baked Steak Fries.

Mom loves Lobster so I ordered a box of 8 1/4 lb Lobster Tails from Luke’s Lobster. Luke’s is where I had ordered the Lobster Rolls from, which were incredible! I was hoping to get them the day before her Birthday last Friday but they didn’t arrive until late Saturday. So I’m preparing a couple of them tonight. They were frozen so I had laid a couple of them in the fridge to thaw overnight.

To prepare them I used a sharp knife, halve each lobster tail lengthwise, cutting almost all the way through the soft side, and pulled gently at each side to laid the lobster flat in a small boiler pan. Next I heated the broiler to 450. Place lobster tails seasoned side up. Cooked them until the meat became opaque white and the shell turned bright red, cooked for about 9 minutes. Brushed with melted butter and they were ready to eat. They were so delicious and had such good flavor. We’ll be having these again, we have 6 left!

Then I had ordered a couple of packages of Wild Idea Buffalo – JILL’S SEA SALT RUBBED TRI-TIP STEAKS while they were on sale. Having a package tonight for Dinner. I had them in the freezer and sat them in the fridge to thaw overnight. It comes packaged as 2 – 4 oz. steaks per package and it’s already Seasoned with Organic: Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Lemon Juice, Black Pepper, Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, Garlic, and Onion Powder.

To prepare it I preheated the oven to 400°. In a Cast Iron Skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil to, I heated it over medium high heat. When ready I added my Steaks to it. I cooked the Steaks 1 minute each side. I just wanted a light sear on both sides. Then I moved the Skillet on to the preheated Oven and Roasted it for about 4 minutes. Removed the Skillet from the Oven and placed the Steaks on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting. The Tri -Tip Steak was super tender and juicy. I had cooked to a medium rare and it came perfect! Topped it with a side of Sauteed Mushrooms.

For a side I baked some Ore Ida Steak Fries and had a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
