New here! Ribeye and lobster tail

Flyer75 · 07-18-2010, 05:49 PM

I'm brand new here and quite frankly brand new to the grilling experience. My wife just bought me a Char-Griller Wrangler for Father's Day and I've used it a few times already and love it. My brother, who posts here every now and then, really got me into the grilling experience and is going to give me his old smoker for now that he built himself.

Anyway, the other night I did ribeye and lobster tail. I simply seasoned the ribeye with crushed peppercorn and kosher salt and grilled em up. Turned out good.

The lobster tail was a little more elaborate. I seasoned with garlic and season salt. I cut the top shell with scissors to form a fillet. I then made a very simple lime juice marinade that the lobster tail soaked in for about 30-40 min in the fridge. I then made a side of garlic butter that I used to baste the tail while on the grill. I seared for about 3 min then went indirect for I think just slightly too long. About 13 min. I'll cut that down to 9-11 min next time but it still tasted fabulous, imo. The only mistake I made on the tail was after cutting the top shell, I used a chef's knife and cut all the way through the bottom thinner shell. Should I have not done that?

Anyway, I'm glad to be here and look forward to all the advice I can get. Headed to Memphis, TN next week in search of BBQ!!!!
