Introduction

When it comes to crafting the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner, a tender and flavourful steak is a timeless choice. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, this Valentine’s Day steak recipe will guide you to creating a romantic meal that’s sure to impress your special someone. Pair it with indulgent sides and a good bottle of wine for an unforgettable evening.

Method

Prepare the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with kitchen paper and season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Heat the Pan: Heat a heavy-based frying pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to achieve a rich, golden crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Add Flavour: Reduce the heat to medium, add the smashed garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and butter to the pan. Spoon the foaming butter over the steaks continuously for 1-2 minutes to infuse them with flavour.
Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:

Rare: 50°C
Medium rare: 54°
Medium: 60°C

Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a warm plate for 5-7 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, juicy meat.
Prepare the Sides: While the steaks rest, prepare your sides. Serve creamy truffle mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, and drizzle with a rich red wine jus for a decadent finish.

Wine Pairing: A bold red wine like Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly complements the richness of the steak.
Set the Mood: A beautifully set table with candles and soft music will enhance the experience.
Personal Touch: Add a handwritten note or a small gift at the table to make the evening extra special.
