Surf and turf, sometimes called reef and beef, is a main course typically served at steakhouses combining seafood and red meat, usually beefsteak. While lobster and filet mignon are a standard combination, common variations include prawns, shrimp, with (frozen) lobster and steak as replacements for the middle class.
In Australia, the dish was first served in 1965 at the Lithgow Hotel in Lithgow, New South Wales. It is now common throughout Australia.
Surf and turf is also nicknamed "the deployment meal" in the United States Army, although a battle deployment does not necessarily follow being served the meal.
Sandwich
A sandwich variation known as the surf and turf burger is prepared with ground beef and various types of seafood, such as lobster, shrimp, or crab.
