Filet with Lobster Tail

[NorCal Smoker]

Picked up a couple of lobster tails and filets from Costco. Decided on serving the lobster tails with a tarragon/lemon vinaigrette.

First, put some baked potatoes with EVOO and sea salt on at 325°F for an hour:

Here are the filets, seasoned with BPS Double Secret, and the tails:

Cut the tails lengthwise:

Made the tarragon/lemon vinaigrette:

Took the potatoes off and cranked the Mak up to max. Put the filets on the grill grates:

Added the lobster tails, brushed with EVOO:

After flipping lobster tails, added tarragon/lemon vinaigrette to the tails. Also put the potatoes back on:

Off the grill and filets resting:

All plated up:

This was excellent. Good weekend. Real good tri tip and real good steak and lobster. Looking forward to next weekend!

Wow... I need an invite, a plate and a couch for later; looks so much like an excellent nap meal!

Looking good bud!

That looks incredible! I have always been reluctant to try lobster at home but I think you gave me the courage to try - you made it looks so easy. I would imagine the lobster cooks pretty fast?

Is the the tarragon/lemon vinaigrette you used on the tails a store bought or home made recipe? Can you share if you have a recipe?

WOW!!! That looks great. Love surf and turf. I'll bet the vinaigrette changed the flavor profile of the lobster.

I wish I could say I was that creative, but I just searched the internet for ideas. Here is the one I used (with some personal modifications, but mostly intact):

What was really interesting though was BP (Sterling) had several recipes on Food Network from a 2004 show. I will definately try his Stuffed Veal Chop and Protabello Pizza recipes!
