This Traeger Surf and Turf Seafood Feast is a wood-fired dream, featuring perfectly grilled steak and a variety of smoky seafood. It’s ideal for a special occasion or an epic backyard cookout. Serve with garlic butter, grilled veggies, or a side of rice for a complete meal.

Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 2 (12-16 oz) ribeye or filet mignon steaks

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for serving)

  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for flavor)

For the Seafood:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 lobster tails, split in half

  • 1/2 lb scallops, patted dry

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

 Prep the Grill

  • Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F for a slow smoke or 450°F for a faster sear. Use hickory, oak, or cherry wood pellets for a rich flavor.

2. Season and Smoke the Steak

  • Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

  • Place the steaks on the grill and smoke at 225°F for about 45-60 minutes until the internal temp reaches 120°F (for medium-rare).

  • Remove the steaks, tent with foil, and increase the grill temperature to 450°F.

3. Sear the Steak

  • Once the grill reaches 450°F, sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes per side until they reach your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

  • Top with butter and fresh herbs, then let them rest while cooking the seafood.

4. Grill the Seafood

  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice.

  • Brush the shrimp, lobster tails, and scallops with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay (if using).

  • Place lobster tails flesh-side down and shrimp on skewers for easier handling.

  • Grill everything at 450°F for 3-4 minutes per side, basting with the garlic butter mixture.

  • Scallops should be golden brown and shrimp should be pink and opaque.

5. Serve and Enjoy

 

  • Plate the steak and seafood together, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with extra garlic butter and lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Substitute salmon, crab legs, or even oysters for variety.

  • Use a reverse sear method for extra tender steak.

 

  • Serve with grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, or a Caesar salad for a complete meal.
