OK, so basically it was just Matt's birthday and we wanted to re-create a meal we'd had at Red Lobster once, but it was still pretty damn awesome. The meal consisted of marinated steaks with a crab/lobster topping, broiled lobster tail, asparagus in butter sauce, mashed potatoes, salad, and a desert of cheesecake with sour cream and fruit topping.
We started out by slicing open the steaks, stuffing them with garlic, and then marinating them in A1 "Savory Onion and Black Pepper" sauce for a full day. When the time for the meal itself came we started by preparing the lobster, which is actually pretty fun. We cut open the top shell so we could pour a butter sauce over it and then snipped the little feet off for a prettier presentation.
After that Matt got mad at the oven mitt for some reason...
Next we made the sauce for the lobster, which was just a basic butter/garlic/pepper mixture. The asparagus got cooked up in olive oil, butter, balsamic vinegar, and pepper. Fattening to be sure, but delicious beyond belief.
For the steak topping we pulled a little of the lobster meat out and then mixed it with Surimi (fake crab) and cooked it in butter and pepper.
Then I got mad at Matt for some reason, only I went for a knife instead of a finger....
My pie cooked up the steaks on the stove in more marinade to make them juicy, then finished them up on the George Foreman to make the cooking go faster.
And now for a Lobster before and after shot!
The dinner table all set up...
And then the super sexy finished product!
And once the meal proper was done, we hoofed it over to Jake's to feast on his amazing cheesecake. He said the secret ingredient was "Love," which I took to mean semen, but it was still good.
