Help with creating a romantic evening. What can I fix for dinner?

Question

I haven't seen my finance' in days and want to have a romantic dinner...what can I do?

Answer 1

I would do something easy...like a light pasta, garlic bread (but light on the garlic) and a red wine.

Or grill salmon, asparagus and have orzo...I have several recipes so message me if you want more ideas. I love to cook and do it a lot for my fiance.

Answer 2

An intimate dinner calls for steak! Serve a fresh, colorful salad with a chilled dressing. Also serve egg noodlles tossed with butter and fresh parsley, and a green steamed vegetable (such as broccoli or green beans). Broil your steaks to perfection, just before the meal is served. Serve warm rolls with butter, not muffins or bisquits. And don't forget the steak sauce! Start dinner off with a few sips of wine, of course. Whatever you do, please don't serve any combination of chips and dip. No veggie tray, salsa dishes, or any of that. No spaghetti, rigatoni, lasagna, or the rest of it. The secret word is "romance," and an intimate steak dinner always sets the tone for romance. Enjoy!

Answer 4

I put this on top of Rigitoni noodles.

Saute of Beef with Wild Mushrooms

INGREDIENTS
9 fluid ounces red wine
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds beef skirt steak, cut into cubes
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup beef stock
salt and pepper to taste
9 ounces mixed wild mushrooms

DIRECTIONS
In a skillet over medium heat, combine red wine, onion, garlic, and thyme. Bring to a boil, and cook until volume is reduced by about 1/4. Set aside, and allow to cool.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until just beginning to brown. Add beef, and cook until evenly brown. Remove beef, and stir into cooled wine mixture. Set aside while preparing sauce.
Sprinkle flour into skillet. Reduce heat, and cook slowly until flour is browned. Gradually stir in beef stock, and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
Stir in beef and wine mixture. Cover, and cook very gently for 40 to 45 minutes. Lay mushrooms on top of beef. Cover, and simmer for about 10 more minutes. Transfer beef and mushrooms to a serving dish. Taste sauce, and adjust seasonings. Simmer until sauce has reduced to desired consistency, then pour over meat.

Note

Skirt steak comes from the short plate, near the flank. It comes in a long, thin strip or 'skirt'. Sometimes it's hard to find, so if you don't see it out with the other meats, ask your butcher, or substitute flank steak
