Ingredients

2 whole lobsters (1 3/4 pounds each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon finely grated shallot
Coarse salt
12 cups mixed greens such as Bibb lettuce, mache, and arugula (10 ounces)
1 large yellow tomato, halved and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish

Steps:

Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Plunge lobsters into water headfirst, and simmer, covered, for 11 minutes. (Do not let water boil.) Transfer lobsters to ice-water bath using tongs. Let stand for 10 minutes to cool.
Meanwhile, whisk together oil, zests and juices, mustard, shallot, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Crack lobster claws, knuckles, and tails, and remove meat. Slice tail meat 1/2 inch thick, and leave claws and knuckles whole.
Combine lobster, greens, tomato, and tarragon. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to coat. Garnish with tarragon. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 8-ounce beef eye round steaks
4 teaspoons dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces white mushrooms, halved or quartered
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
2 to 3 teaspoons brined green peppercorns, drained and chopped, plus 1 teaspoon brine from the jar
2 large romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
2 cups whole-wheat croutons

Steps:

Rub the steaks all over with 1 teaspoon mustard and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out the skillet.
Heat 1 more tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and continue to cook, stirring, until just soft, 3 more minutes.
Whisk the parmesan, sour cream, 3 tablespoons water, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 teaspoons mustard, the green peppercorns and brine, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the mushrooms, lettuce, celery, tomatoes and croutons and toss. Cut the steak into bite-size pieces; add to the bowl and toss. Divide among plates and top with more parmesan.
