- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil (about 20 g of salt per liter), then add 2 lobsters and cook until boiling fiercely, then drain and let them cool.
- Once cooled, break down the lobsters by separating the tails, claws, and heads. Cut the tails into thick medallions, remain slightly raw in the center. Crack the claws slightly and split the heads in half, removing any cartilage.
- In a wide, shallow pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter until hot. Sear the lobster pieces on each side for about 2 minutes until golden.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of brandy into the pan to infuse the lobster with its rich flavor.
- Add 250 ml of warm American sauce, letting it boil for about 5 minutes to reduce and adhere to the lobster pieces.
- Season with salt as needed and serve hot, savoring the rich flavors of your American-style lobster.
