CINCINNATI – The Kroger Co. today announced it's bringing date night home with a romantic and delicious Surf and Turf dinner, perfect for lovebirds to celebrate Valentine's Day without the hassle of a reservation. Customers can also get special gifts delivered straight to their loved ones' doors with DoorDash and Uber Eats.
“Quality ingredients are the foundation of any romantic dinner, and Kroger consistently delivers on quality and affordability,” said Carlo Baldan, Group Vice President of Fresh Merchandising at Kroger. “Our meat and seafood counters feature premium cuts and fresh selections that feel like a night out. Kroger is making it easy to impress any Valentine this holiday.”
To assist home cooks in crafting an unforgettable Valentine’s Day feast, Kroger’s culinary experts have shared their top tips for preparing restaurant-quality surf and turf at home. From choosing the right cut to achieving the perfect finish, here’s how to impress:
- Selecting the Perfect Steak: When choosing a steak at the meat counter, look for thin white flecks throughout the cut—more marbling typically means more tenderness and flavor. The best cuts for surf and turf include ribeye, New York strip, filet mignon and sirloin. Kroger culinary experts recommend Private Selection® Cracked Peppercorn seasoning, which includes the perfect balance of salt and garlic. For best results, salt your steak 30-60 minutes ahead of cooking for deeper seasoning and a better crust.
- Lobster and Crab—What to Look For: Choosing quality seafood is key. Look for solidly frozen lobster tails with no heavy ice crystals. Select a 4-6 oz. tail, which will cook evenly and stay tender—larger tails are easier to overcook. When choosing crab legs, look for intact shells and minimal ice buildup.
- Elevating with Sides and Finishing Touches: Complete the plate with simple sides that pair beautifully with surf and turf, such as roasted asparagus or broccolini, garlic mashed potatoes, or a salad with citrus vinaigrette. After cooking your steak, finish with a quick baste with garlic-herb butter for steakhouse flavor with minimal effort. Keep seafood simple by topping with melted butter, a squeeze of fresh lemon and a light sprinkle of salt and parsley.
For additional guidance and trusted expertise, customers can ask the butchers behind the meat and seafood counters at Kroger Family of Companies locations nationwide. These experts can help select the right portions, sizes, and other details for special occasions. For more inspiration, customers can visit the blog for special surf and turf recipes.
