Grilled Mexican Style Surf and Turf - This surf and turf recipe takes that classic restaurant meal to the next level by spicing it up and grilling it. Impress that special someone, with this amazing meal.
Hello, my beef-loving peeps!
Do Y'all get as excited about this time of year as I do?
Yes, Mother's Day is just a few days away, and I do love anything that celebrates the fact that I have some amazing kiddos, but, the real reason I get so happy is that grilling season has begun!
Can I get an Amen people?
The sun is shining here in the Pacific Northwest, and that means it is time to head outside and grill everything we can get our little hands on, especially ribeyes.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love all beef.
But when it comes to grilling there is just one steak that I dream about, and drool over, and that is a nice juicy ribeye.
But not just any ribeye. Oh no no no.
Certified Angus Beef ® brand ribeyes!
Why Certified Angus Beef brand?
Well, there are quite a few reasons.
If we are talking about taste, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand is known for its marbling. All cattle start off eating grass, but the Certified Angus Beef ® brand cattle are finished on grain to ensure all of that wonderful marbelization.
Marbelization = juicy, tender, flavorful beef ?
All beef is not created equal!
Certified Angus Beef® brand is more selective than USDA Choice and Prime. They have 10 exact standards that each cut must meet. Which means that you can be assured that your Certified Angus Beef® brand beef will always be the best cut you can buy.
Certified Angus Beef is not just a brand, they are a family.
They were established in 1978 and have been supporting local farmers and ranchers ever since. They ensure quality, as well as support family business, which makes them even more awesome!
Now, let's take a minute to talk about how fabulous this meal was?
OhhEmmGeeeee it was amazeballs!!
Between the wonderfully tender and juicy steak with the hint of Mexican flavor from the rub, and the deeeelicious lobster bathed in Cilantro Garlic Lime Butter?
Holy Foodgasm Batman!
This has now risen to the ranks of MUST MAKE meal for any special occasion.
Like Mother's Day, Father's Day, May Day, or just Wednesday!
