Steaming

Whole

Place the whole Southern Rocklobster in the steamer for 15 minutes at 100ºC (212ºF).

Half

Place both halves in the steamer for 13 -14 minutes at 100ºC (212ºF).

Individual portions

Individual portions maximize food costs. To preserve the delicate clean flavour of the Southern Rocklobster, roll the tail through extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and wrap it tightly in heat resistant plastic food wrap, twisting the ends back to make the roll as firm as possible. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the roll to firm.

For service

Without removing the plastic slice into 75g portions. Lay the bottom of individual steamers with the other components of your dish. Without removing the plastic place a portion cut side up on top. Put a few drops of oil or molten butter appropriate to your dish and season the top of the portion. Cover with a steamer lid and steam for 3-4 minutes (this time will be dependant on the temperature of your service fridge). Carefully remove the plastic, plate, garnish and serve.
