Ladies and gentleman, man your grills and let’s keep cooking for that special someone simple, elegant, yet extremely delicious on this Valentine’s Day.

This surf & turf keeps things to the barbecue, so prep is minimal and clean up a breeze. Tricks like getting your seafood department to precook your lobster makes this painless.

A succulent lobster tail!

Make sure to pick out a thick cut of the best quality beef you can find as well as a nice selection of veg that would work well on the barbie.

Arrange your masterpiece on one platter to keep things romantic and drizzle that chorizo basil vinaigrette like a cupid shooting an arrow through a heart! xoxo Chef Mark.
