For Surf and Turf:
Filet  and the skewers are seated to rare – I recommend broiling  or grilling the filet and skewer (filet will take about 5-8 minutes under the broiler or on the grill to be medium, always cook it a little less and let it rest before serving.  Skewer will only take 3-4 minutes to be fully cooked.  If you got the crab cake, bake it in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until hot.

Microwave for 3-4 minutes until hot – bake the broccoli at 400 degrees for 15 minutes with the lid off
