Easy American Romantic Valentine's Dinner for Two Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (8 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh strawberries for garnish
• Red wine (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the ribeye steaks with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for an additional 6-8 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
5. While the steaks are cooking, prepare the asparagus by melting butter in another skillet over medium heat. Sauté asparagus for 5-7 minutes until tender.
6. For the dessert, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just boiling, then remove from heat and whisk in chocolate chips and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Serve the steaks with sautéed asparagus on the side and drizzle the chocolate sauce over strawberries for dessert.
