Valentine’s Day Special
Do you, your spouse/partner/roommate have an area that could use some decluttering?
Give or Get a gift of love by setting up a timer for 15 minutes – and begin the decluttering process. When the timer goes off – WALK AWAY because you are done for the day.
Tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day (for however long it takes) set the timer for 15 minutes and congratulate yourself (your spouse/partner/roommate) for taking action.
And, here’s a recipe for an easy and elegant Valentine’s Day Steak Dinner for two, bon appetite!
• 2 T grated Parmesan cheese plus Parmesan cheese shavings
• 1 1/2 T butter, room temperature
• 1 12-ounce rib-eye steak
• 1 t olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
• 1/2 t (packed) dark brown sugar
• 4 cups (lightly packed) arugula
• 2 large lemon wedges
Mix grated cheese and butter in small bowl. Season generously with fresh cracked pepper; set aside.
Sprinkle steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plate.
Add vinegar, shallots, and sugar to skillet; boil until reduced to glaze, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
Divide arugula and Parmesan shavings between 2 plates. Squeeze lemon over.
Slice steak; place atop arugula. Top steak with Parmesan butter. Drizzle lightly with glaze.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
