Valentine’s Day Steak

Valentines Day Steak:

Every year my husband and I opt out of going somewhere for Valentine’s day, we’d rather make this valentines day steak recipe! Although we do luvvvv going out to eat, on this particular day we just enjoy cooking together in the kitchen, listening to great music (usually Sinatra ?) and having some cocktails. That is our perfect Valentine’s day.

My recipe for Valentine’s steak is actually pretty simple. It is essentially just two filet mignons, wrapped in bacon topped with a cheesy alfredo sauce?. I created this recipe just when I started to learn how to cook some odd 10 years ago, jeez! It has become a favorite to make. I usually cook asparagus and mashed potatoes for sides, also topped with bacon ??. It’s rich, indulgent and we always walk away glad that we didn’t put any energy into dessert.?……until the next day or so, of course.

For the steak, you simply need a good cut of beef. I like to splurge for this occasion, so I go to my local Beef Mart to get it. However, I know they sell them at your local grocery store and even Walmart has them already wrapped with bacon and sells them in packages of two.

For the Alfredo sauce, I create a simple Alfredo using heavy cream, butter and then add an Italian cheese blend, usually Sargento 3-cheese Italian. Then I add mini cocktail shrimp to the sauce?.

I love cooking steak, when you have such a good cut of meat, it takes no time at all to become delicious.

It does not take very long to cook everything up. I usually cook the asparagus and mashed potatoes first and then cook up the Alfredo sauce and then focus on the steak last. We like our steak rare (most of the time) at 130 to 135 degrees internal temp. You will also want to try and find a skillet or pan that can be in the oven, because once you sear the steaks they will go straight in the oven, pan and all.

Looks so good!

Enjoy!
