Romantic Steak Dinner for Two
3607 days ago
Romance is in the air. I've been married a long time so we're not so much about gifts and flowers as we are about a quiet dinner, a nice bottle of wine and a divine chocolate dessert. Oh sure, we've gone out to dinner on Valentine's Day but we are just as happy staying home.
Here's a simple menu that's easy but elegant.
• Filet mignon with mushrooms
• Twice baked potato
• Salad with your favorite dressing
• Garlic bread or garlic sticks
• Molten lava cakes
This Cast-Iron Skillet Steak recipe is an easy way to cook steak that offers great flavor. It lends itself to the right amount of sear and the perfect doneness.
There are dozens of recipes and names for this decadent dessert – chocolate lava cakes, molten lava cakes, lava chocolate cakes, and molten chocolate cakes. Whatever you call them, they are delicious. It's a combination of a brownie on the outside with a warm, gooey chocolate filling that oozes out on the plate when you sink your fork into it.
You can prepare the batter ahead of time, refrigerate and bake them while you're having dinner. Just be sure to bring the batter to room temperature before baking.
What is on your Valentine's Day menu this year?
