Slather your steak and burgers with my FYR BLK Hot Sauce and generously season with my Cowboy Butter Rub or your favorite steak rub. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
In a bowl, mix the spicy butter ingredients and set to the side.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 375F) for two zone indirect cooking.
Next, add your steak to the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until they are 120F. Once the steaks are done, pull off to let rest for 10 minutes. When done resting, slice the steaks.
Add your burgers to the grill and season with cowboy butter rub. Cook until done to your liking then melt cheese over the top. Pull off once done.
Add a cast iron skillet to the grill with butter to melt. Add the lobster meat and seafood rub to the skillet and mix together. Cook for 5 minutes over a low simmer, then pull off and keep warm.
Build your burger with burger patty, sliced steak and lobster on top. Drizzle some spicy butter over everything and dive right in. Enjoy!
How to Make Clarified Butter
To make clarified butter, start by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. As it melts, you’ll notice a foamy layer forming on top and milk solids sinking to the bottom. Let the butter gently simmer, but avoid stirring. This allows the water to evaporate and the milk solids to separate completely.
Once the butter is fully melted and clear, skim off the foam with a spoon and carefully pour the golden liquid into a clean container, leaving the milk solids behind. For extra clarity, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Store your clarified butter in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for later use. It’s perfect for high-heat cooking and recipes like spicy butter for Surf and Turf Burgers!
