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
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.

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

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).
