For the Chimichurri:

• 2 small red chilies, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili)
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

For the Grilled Garlic Lemon Butter Lobster Tail:

• 4 lobster tails
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Marinated Flank Steak:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, coconut aminos, honey, and freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the steak occasionally to ensure even marination.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
4. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Chimichurri:

1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, minced garlic, chopped red chilies, dried oregano, coarse salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Allow the chimichurri to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Grilled Garlic Lemon Butter Lobster Tail:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise down the center, leaving the tail intact. Gently lift the lobster meat from the shells and place it on top.
3. In a small saucepan or on the grill side burner, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
4. Brush the garlic lemon butter mixture over the lobster tails.
5. Grill the lobster tails meat-side down for about 5-7 minutes, basting with the garlic lemon butter mixture, until the lobster meat is opaque and the shells turn red.

To Serve:

Serve the thinly sliced Marinated Grilled Flank Steak with a generous drizzle of Chimichurri sauce alongside the Grilled Garlic Lemon Butter Lobster Tail. This combination of flavors will make for a memorable and delicious meal. Enjoy!
