For the main course, we recommend splurging on a high-quality filet mignon. This tender and flavorful cut of beef is perfect for a special occasion. Make sure to buy enough for two servings, usually around 8 ounces per person.
2. Asparagus
No romantic dinner is complete without some greens. Asparagus is not only nutritious but also adds a pop of color to your plate. Look for fresh asparagus at your local grocery store and trim off the woody ends before cooking.
3. Red Wine
A bottle of red wine is a must-have for a Valentine's dinner. Choose a full-bodied red like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot to pair with your filet mignon. Don't worry about breaking the bank, a good bottle can be found at an affordable price.
4. Chocolate Lava Cake
No Valentine's dinner is complete without a decadent dessert. Our recipe for chocolate lava cake is easy to make and will satisfy any sweet tooth. You can prepare the batter ahead of time and bake it while enjoying your main course.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Season your filet mignon with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes for medium-rare or longer for your desired doneness.
2. Roast the asparagus.
While the filet mignon is cooking, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender.
3. Open the wine.
While your food is cooking, open the red wine and let it breathe. This will enhance the flavors and aromas of the wine.
4. Make the chocolate lava cake.
Follow our simple recipe for chocolate lava cake and bake it while enjoying your main course.
Plating:
Once everything is cooked, it's time to plate your Valentine's dinner. Place the filet mignon on a plate and top it with the roasted asparagus. Pour a glass of red wine for you and your loved one and enjoy it with your meal. Finish off with a slice of chocolate lava cake for dessert.
There you have it, a delicious and romantic Valentine's dinner that is sure to impress. Don't forget to set the mood with some candles and soft music. Happy Valentine's Day!
