Valentines Day meal?

[Connah'sMommy]

Im thinking of cooking something really yummy for OH on V.day but im not sure what!

Any suggestions?

If we have a romantic meal I always cook a big juicy steak (fillet or sirloin) with boiled new potatoes, veg and peppercorn sauce. My favourite! The peppercorn sauce is from a packet though

Steak and something chocolatey and luxurious for pud!

 

[Connah'sMommy]

I was thinking about fillet steak but i dont want to muck it up xx

 

[Feltzy]

I fry mine with a little extra virgin olive oil and a knob of butter. I kind of guess with timings, OH likes his well done so I cook his for around 20 mins on a medium heat and just turn it once half way through. I think it depends on the thickness of the steak tbh but you could always ask the butcher how long he recommends to cook for to get rare/medium/well done.

Steak, mushrooms, chips and peppercorn sauce, yum yum

We're having stuffed mushrooms to start then steak, chunky chips, mushroom and tomatoes with peppercorn sauce then chocolate pudding.

If I was doing a Valentine meal (I'm not) but this would be my menu

Starter: Garlic mushrooms

Main: Lamb shank on a bed of spring mash potato, with a rich red wine onion gravy

Dessert: Melt in the middle chocolate pudding with HG vanilla ice cream

I'm a vege so don't take my word for it, but it would seem that everyone cooks steak on Vday lol must be a thing lol so yeah go with that x

I'm doing a goats cheese and vine tomato tart, followed by steak, chips, onion rings, mushroom and tomato. Not decided on dessert yet but something light.

We've been indulgent and lazy this year Largely because we are always on the go! We are going out tomorrow for lunch, grandma babysitting...and then on Tuesday, we've gone for the M&S Dine In Valentines...so...:

Antipasti
Two sirloin steaks, we are choosing roasted veggies (as I will make chips and a rocket w'parmesan salad)
Two strawberry and champagne souffles or two chocolate heaven (DH is currently choosing )
A bottle of pink fizz, and a box of chocolates!

£20. They have lots of yummy options...might be worth a look?

we must be the only people not having steak OH is a butcher so will be sick of the sight of steak by Valentines day with all you lot buying it

We're making veggie sushi together. Its yummy and we can laugh at each others crap sushi=making skills.

 

[Connah'sMommy]

M&S sounds like a plan!...maybe then i wont muck it up too badly xx

 

[Pink Flowers]

I was just thinking I might go see if they have the 2 can dine for £10 at our local m and s lol about as romantic as I get

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

No steak here! WIll prob do m&s offer.

 

[Inge]

Im making OH a roast chicken and all the trimmings - he loves his roast and hasnt had one for ages! Then its a nice cheesecake or caramel type dessert!

 

[Blah11]

i might m&s it too although we dont really 'do' valentines day. I did catch him looking at cards yday though haha

 

[Blah11]

No steak here either as I hate it.

 

[Armywife84]

I hate steak too. However if he wants a steak, I'll cook him one.

I'll probably do a baked chicken with gravy, unsure of the sides, and getting a lovely little cake from the local bakery as I can't bake to save my life.

Or I may just skip all of that and go out for sushi.

is it a surprise?
Cos i usually ask him what he fancies and try and make it a little bit nicer

Last time i asked though, he said jacket spuds...that was a toughy...so i just got a nice pudding
