This is not the night to be on a diet, splurge and enjoy yourselves! Maybe you can workout together the next day.

OVEN-GRILLED STEAK

It may sound unusual to cook a steak in the oven but trust me, this is fabulous!

2 individual steaks about 1 1/4” thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Heat oven to its maximum—500ºF or more—for at least 10 minutes. Place a cast iron or other heavy skillet over high heat on the stovetop. Wait 2-3 minutes, until pan begins to smoke.

Add steaks and cook about 1 minute. Immediately transfer pan to oven. Roast steaks 3-4 minutes per side. Steaks will be medium rare. Place 1 ½ teaspoons butter on top of each steak. Sprinkle with salt (coarse French salt, if you have it) and freshly ground pepper and serve.

BAKED POTATO

2 baking potatoes

Scrub the potatoes well to remove dirt, then prick with a fork so steam can escape. Place in preheated, 350-400ºF oven for about 30-40 minutes.
