Surf and Turf

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. How many diets have you been on where they allow you to eat surf and turf? I can easily guess. None. Well, maybe Atkins. That aside I can’t imagine why it took me over a year to think of this. We had it last night and swooned through our whole meal. You can too. It’s so easy and even comes with a fabulous cocktail sauce you can eat with your “surf.”

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 oz of lean steak; preferably filet mignon. Divide into two portions
  • 6-8 oz of crab legs. Divide into two portions. Costco and other places have crab legs that are pre-cooked. All you’ll have to do is heat them up or eat them cold. Your choice. Buy one leg and cut it up for the two of you.
Horseradish Cocktail Sauce
  • 6 oz of tomato paste
  • 2 tsp of lemon juice
  • 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp of hot sauce
  • 3 tsp of prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp of minced garlic (jar garlic is fine)
  • Water

Instructions:

Mix all cocktail ingredients in a small bowl. If you like your sauce thick you won’t need water. Otherwise just thin it to the consistency you like. Try to let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes before you eat it. Leftovers can stay in the refrigerator.

If you keep your portion of cocktail sauce to 2 Tbl or less you can pretty much eat your full portion of your veggies and salad.

Grill your steak with salt and pepper to your liking.

Heat your crab legs or eat them chilled. Your choice. TIP: I use scissors to split my crab legs so the flesh is easier to get out. Then I sort of work them open so I don’t have to mess with them when they are hot. For larger pieces I actually cut a channel of the shell off which leaves an opening that’s easy to get the flesh out to dip it in the cocktail sauce.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
