How to use Grill Mates ® on Tenderloin Steaks and King Crab _ Recipe

**Preparing Tenderloin Steaks**

The tenderloin is one of the most tender parts of beef and is known for its lack of marbling, which means it can be prone to drying out if not cooked properly. To ensure that our steak remains juicy and flavorful, we need to add some fat to it. However, since the tenderloin itself lacks marbling, we will have to rely on adding our own flavorings to it.

One way to do this is by using a marinade. We can pour our favorite marinade into a 1-gallon plastic bag and work it into the meat, making sure that each piece of steak is fully coated. This will help to add flavor and tenderize the meat. To ensure that the marinade penetrates evenly, we should let the steaks sit in the marinade for at least half an hour or even longer. Once the steaks have been marinating, we can remove them from the bag and pat them dry with paper towels.

Next, we will apply a layer of rub to our steak. A good quality rub, such as Grill Mate Steak Rub, can add a lot of flavor to our steak while also sealing in its natural juices. This rub contains ingredients like garlic, black pepper, brown sugar, onion powder, and paprika, which will complement the flavors of the tenderloin perfectly. We should let this rub sit on the steaks for at least half an hour to allow it to absorb into the meat.

**Grilling the Steaks**

Now that our steaks are ready, we can move on to grilling them. To do this, we will preheat our grill to medium heat, around 350°F. We should place a grill grate over the hot coals and get it nice and hot. While the grill is heating up, we should put the king crab legs in a cooler or refrigerator to warm them up.

Once the grill is ready, we can add some oil to the grates and place our steaks directly over medium heat. We will close the lid and let the steaks sear for a few minutes on each side, which will create a nice crust on the outside. To cook the king crab legs, we will place them opposite the hot coals, using indirect grilling to warm them up without cooking them too long.

After a few minutes of grilling, we should move our steaks to an area with indirect heat, such as the cooler side of the grill, where they can finish cooking to our desired level of doneness. Since we want our steak to be rare on the inside, we will use the "flip and check" method, moving the steaks every minute or two until they reach our desired level of doneness.

**Finishing Touches**

With our steaks cooked to perfection, it's time to plate them up. We can add some additional flavorings, such as a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of chopped herbs, to finish off our steak. To complete the surf and turf experience, we will serve our tenderloin steak alongside the king crab legs.

The combination of the tenderloin steak and king crab legs is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries it. The tenderness of the steak pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the king crab, creating a truly unforgettable dining experience. By following these simple steps and using high-quality ingredients, we can create a delicious surf and turf dish that's sure to impress even the most discerning palates.

**Additional Tips**

In addition to the tips provided in the original text, here are some additional suggestions for improving your grilled steak and king crab legs:

* Make sure to oil the grates before adding the steaks to prevent sticking.

* Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your steak reaches a safe internal temperature.

* Don't press down on the steaks while they're grilling, as this can squeeze out juices and make the steak tough.

* Let the king crab legs cool slightly before serving to prevent them from being too hot and overwhelming.

By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you'll be well on your way to creating a delicious surf and turf dish that's sure to impress.
