Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There are various cuts you can use for this luxurious dish, from hanger or onglet to rib-eye or sirloin. You could even use bavette or flank. If you really want to push the boat out, you may want to use fillet; if so, try asking your butcher to sell you some fillet tails which should be cheaper than the centre of the fillet which is where the steaks are cut from.
You could also substitute prawns for lobster if you haven't got a good source of live lobsters.
2 lobsters weighing about 500-600g each, cooked
2 x 200-250g steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A little vegetable or corn oil for brushing
A couple of handfuls of small tasty salad leaves, washed and dried
For the dressing
1tbsp white wine vinegar
2tsp Dijon mustard
2tbsp peanut or corn oil
2tbsp olive oil
Remove all of the meat from the lobster claws and tails and cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve the shells for a sauce or a soup.
Preheat a ribbed griddle pan, brush the steaks with oil and season. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side depending on their thickness and keeping them nice and rare, then leave to rest on a plate. Whisk all of the ingredients for the dressing; season.
To serve, slice the steak into cm slices and mix any juices with the dressing. Arrange the steak, lobster and leaves on serving plates; spoon the dressing over.
