Units of Measurement:
main
1 (20 oz) boneless strip steak or rib steak, butterflied into heart shape
2 Teaspoon kosher salt
2 Teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 Tablespoon finely chopped raw dark chocolate
1/2 Tablespoon Olive oil
1/2 Pound lobster tail meat, thinly sliced
1 Cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 Cup fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
1/2 Bunch cilantro leaves, chopped (optional)

Steps

  • 1

    For the Sweetheart Steak: Draw a large heart on a piece of cardboard, shaped to the size of the meat selected. Cut out the cardboard heart shape, then trim the meat into the heart shape.

  • 2

    Combine salt, pepper, chocolate, and olive oil in a small bowl. Place on top of the cut steak.

  • 3

    Cut the raw lobster tail, remove meat, and chop.

  • 4

    In a separate medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, lime juice, and jalapeño.

  • 5

    Toss in the lobster meat; ensure it is completely submerged in the liquid. Let the lobster soak for 30 minutes. The citric acid actually cooks the lobster meat.

  • 6

    When ready to cook, set temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

    If you prefer to have fully-cooked meat, grill the lobster in the shell for 3 to 5 minutes at 350°F. Remove from the grill, then toss with lemon juice, lime juice, jalapeño, and cilantro (optional).
