My first flambé happened on my first real romantic dinner date at a rotating circular restaurant with a great view of the city. Tableside service came complete with white gloves, a high price tag, and a lot of flames. I remember thinking "this is so good and looks so simple." And the truth is, it looks simple because in reality, it is (just keep your fire extinguisher nearby)! So many classic recipes like crêpes suzette, steak au poivre, or cherries jubilee are easy flambé dishes.

This Valentine's Day, ignite some romance by combining the heat of a classic flambé with the best of both land and sea—surf and turf. So grab Filet Mignon cut from DLM Natural Beef Tenderloin and two cold-water lobster tails from Maine. We're going to help you fan the flames and create your own drama with these two classic preparations for Lobster Flambé and Steak Diane.
