RT was quite the gentleman for Valentine’s Day! He prepared breakfast for me, and then packed my lunch to take to school. He hand delivered a beautiful pink rose bouquet to me at school, and then when we got home that evening, he insisted that I sit down and relax while he prepared a special dinner for me. He even insisted that I relax while he cleaned up the kitchen after dinner. RT can grill a mean steak, and that’s what he did for Valentine’s Day. He prepared a delicious shrimp cocktail with lemon wedges for an appetizer, opened a bottle of Charles Shaw merlot to sip throughout the meal, grilled two great ribeye steaks, had a plate of fresh watermelon slices, an original salad, and an original dessert. Note that both the salad and the caramel volcano are completely original recipes that RT created as he prepared the meal. They both were absolutely DELICIOUS! Here are the recipes:
Grilled Ribeye Steaks
2 high quality ribeye steaks
garlic salt
pepper
Rub both sides of the steak with the garlic salt and pepper. Be generous with the seasonings. Grill 6 - 10 minutes per side - depending on the thickness of the steak and your preference for doneness. After removing from the grill let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving.
Mandarin Pecan Romaine Salad
Juice of one lemon wedge
1 small can Mandarin oranges
1/4 cup pecans pieces
1/4 cup crisp bacon bits
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 head shredded Romaine lettuce
Ranch dressing
Mix all the ingredients except lemon and ranch dressing. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the salad. Serve with ranch dressing. DELICIOUS!
Caramel Volcano
1 small can Mandarin oranges
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 cup vanilla yogurt
2 tsp. light brown sugar
A shot glass of Bailey’s Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur
2 Maraschino cherries with a little of the Marschino liquid
Build your volcano by placing half the Mandarin oranges in the bottom of each of two individual serving bowls. Sprinkle the pecan pieces on top of the Mandarin oranges - half in each bowl. Tower half the yogurt in the middle of each bowl. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top. Pour the Bailey’s Caramel Irish Cream on top of it all. Place the bowls in the freezer for approximately 15 - 20 minutes before serving. Add a maraschino cherry on top and drizzle a little of the marschino liquid down the sides of he volcano.
