Lobster or Steak?!
Lobster or Steak?
what goes good with either Lobster or steak? Its my parents 25th wedding anniversary and we are making them either Lobster or Steak and we dont know what else to make with it, what are good sides?
Answers:
I looked at some recipes on Food Net Work website, and this is what I found looked good, and seemed very easy to make. If your looking for something else just look through there web site. Reading the reviews helps alot with side dishes, and little ideas to add something extra.

Here's a comment left by a reviewer for an idea to spice up the dish:
"Oh my gosh! These were the BEST lobster tails I've ever had. I followed the recipe exactly except for the tarragon leaves (I was out of them). I paired them up with beef tenderloin and a salad of tossed greens, and BAAMM! What a dinner!!"
Hope I helped^-^
what do they like? make them something they like.
Why not a Surf and Turf and serve both......A Great Salad and a Fresh Veggie and your set
lobster is more expensive which means ur not cheap
and steak u can eat that everyday
baked potato with in season vegetable
Baked potatoes with their choice of topping with either the Lobster or Steak and a nice green salad and crusty bread. Oh and lots of melted butter with the Lobster and you could do gilled mushrooms or asparagus with either too.
corn on the cob, clams and baked potatoes maybe a macaroni salad or potatoe salad ???
steak
Both!!! I don't think I could choose between the two!!
go to a seafood place and see what they plate with lobster
How about a steamed mixed vegetables. I would say go for a steak dinner. Make mashed potatoes. Not the instant type.
Do both - grilled steak & sauteed danish lobster tails. Serve with loaded baked potatos, grilled asparagus, grilled corn on the cob & fresh garlic bread!! Yummy...
Any kind of potato goes good with steak except french fries if your trying to be fancy about it. If you have lobster serve it with steamed veggies.
A big baked potato!

*many cooking/recipe variations
Steak Eggs & Chips, with mushrooms, fried tomatoes and fried onion rings on the side.
Lobster!!!!!!!! baked with cheese or just steamed and serve with herbs butter sauce.
My favourite sides are garlic bread + pasta - mushroom cream sauce or stir fried with garlic + mix herbs (sprinkle a lot of parmesan cheese and black pepper when serve)
If you want them both, I would suggest you to prepare lobster bisque to serve with charcoal grilled good quality steak. The sides can be bread sticks, some boiled fresh green vegetables - baby carrot, beans, + baked potatoe cubes or stir fried button mushrooms with butter / garlic and white wine sauce.
<<<<< Lobster Bisque >>>>> Serves 4
400 g raw lobster tail
75 g butter, softened
7 green onions, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
950 ml fish stock
4 sprigs fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
4 whole black peppercorns
600 ml water
40 g all-purpose flour
440 g tomato puree
15 ml sherry or white wine
120 ml heavy cream
1 g ground nutmeg
4 g chopped fresh tarragon
1) Cut the lobster tail in half lengthwise.
2) Melt half the butter in a pot, add the scallions and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until soft but not colored. Add the carrot and cook for 2 minutes.
3) Add the lobster halves, fish stock, parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns & water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, skimming the surface as required.
4) Remove the lobster from the stock, cool slightly and take the meat from the shells. Set the lobster meat aside, crush the shell and return it to the pan. Continue simmering for further 40 minutes. Strain the stock, then strain again through a sieve lined with 2 layers of damp muslin or cheesecloth.
5)Cut some thin slices from the lobster to use as a garnish and set aside. In a blender, blend the remaining lobster flesh with a little of the strained stock until smooth.
6) Mix the flour and remaining butter to a paste. Add the pureed lobster to the pot along with the flour paste, tomato puree, sherry, cream, nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well.
7) Add the tarragon and the remaining stock and cook, stirring continuously, over high heat until the soup boils and thickens.
8) Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Season to taste and serve garnished with the reserved lobster and some sprigs of tarragon, if desired.
