This will be the second time we have encountered these kinds of goals. We used to have boring, generic goals, such as buy this and cook this. They awarded some gold and experience and once completed, they were completed. Last Christmas was the first time goals of these kind were released and so we're still getting a feel as to how TL plans on handling the experience. Also, towards the end of December or maybe early January, TL released New Years goals. Same happened in Bakery, Farm, and Fashion Story. (Fashion also received some permanent "generic" goals, but they are more interesting than the original kind because there are item and gem rewards.)
I think people had a hunch the RS goals were limited and TL "confirmed" it by announcing that the goals (and December released items) were to be remove on 1/6. However, people complained, feeling they were not given enough time (especially lower level players) and TL extended it to 1/20. Now, they've extended to 2/9... So technically, we're still in the middle of learning how goals are going to work.
Here is their "official" post on what was supposed to happen on 1/20.

Make sure you have Restaurant Story Valentines version. You'll still be able to see your Christmas and New Years goals and you'll see the Valentines goals. Heart Steak is unlocked in a Valentines goal (and likely Eggs in a Basket and Lovely Pancakes but no one is that far yet or they have not posted about it.)
I have Story website with RS Goal section on the left, under Restaurant that links to a spreadsheet that has the new and past goals. You may or may not want to skip the Christmas and New Years ones (so you can focus on the Valentines ones), depending on how far you want to get. So be sure to plan! (I also have some tips that I put under the Goal Tips page.)

And that's about as much as we know. :3.
