Surf and Turf

[Gonna Smoke]

KJ's, a local IGA grocer here, has crab legs on sale this week for $7.50/lb. A great price if they look decent so I went to check them out. Usually they don't have the best looking legs, but this time I was pleasantly surprised at how they looked. Including my wife, there's a few in the family who love them so I figured I'd treat them. Invited our best friends over to eat and he doesn't eat them so I figured I would grill a steak or two for me and him and whoever else may want some. He had an idea for a side dish to go with everything so here we go...

The side dish started with 3 colored peppers and 1 medium onion chopped. Into a pan with some butter and course salt and pepper to saute until tender...

Added 3 bags of frozen riced cauliflower that were allowed to thaw and sauted that...

Added a jar of chopped sun dried tomatoes, minus the oil, and sauted some more. Garnished with chopped green onions. Call that done...

Roasted fresh asparagus with butter, salt & pepper, and shredded parmesan cheese until tender and the cheese gets some color...

Reverse seared 3 ribeyes...

Crab legs in the pot to steam while the steak was resting...

Served with garlic bread. Time to eat...

Our 3 year old granddaughter loves crab legs, just have to teach her how to crack them... But she's learning...

The cauliflower side dish was interesting and good. I asked him where he got the recipe and he said he kind of made it up using what he had. I'd make it again...

Nice feast Charles. Looks like it was enjoyed by all.
Cauliflower dish looks tasty. Definitely a different than the norm.

Thanks guys. The whole meal with the exception of the cauliflower dish is fairly straightforward. The cauliflower was my main focus here because it was different pretty good...

Thank you! That is a good price on the legs as long as they look good. I've looked at them there before and was less than impressed to say the least...

Thanks Dude! I went back to the store today to see if the crab legs I got were just a fluke and they had plenty more that looked just as good. For $7.50/lb., I just had to buy some more for the freezer...
