SURF AND TURF WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• For the herb butter: Combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, parsley, butter and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Keep at room temperature for topping the steak before serving.
• For the salad: Prepare an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the corn until well-marked, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then slice the kernels off and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the oregano leaves, tomato, onion, zucchini, Fresno chile, feta, olive oil, vinegar and salt to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
• For the surf and turf: Toss the prawns with the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in another medium bowl and let marinade while grilling the steaks. Massage the strip steaks with olive oil and sprinkle each side with salt. Grill the steaks until well-marked and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Let the steaks rest and grill the prawns until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Divide the steaks, prawns and salad between 2 plates. Top the steaks with a spoonful of the herb butter.

SPICY SURF-N-TURF TRIO

Steps:

• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• In a large bowl, drizzle the chicken, flank steak, and shrimp with olive oil and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Grill the flank steak to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the chicken and steak to a cutting board and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the scallions until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Grill the cheese for 10 seconds on each side. Transfer the shrimp, scallions and cheese to a large plate.
• Sauce:
• In a large heavy saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomatoes, and garlic. Cook until the onion is golden and very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chiles, oregano, and cumin. Stir until fragrant, about for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chiles are soft, about 2 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor, add the remaining 1 cup of water and blend until smooth. Strain the sauce into a medium saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cut the chicken and flank steak into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Arrange the chicken strips, steak strips, shrimp, scallions, and cheese slices around the edges of a heatproof dish. Pour the warm sauce into the center. Serve very hot, with tortillas to make tacos.
