If you know me you know I spent a decade and a half of my life as a junk food vegetarian. I never in a million years thought I would be a steak lover, but here we are and STEAK (to me) IS LIFE.

You know what else is life?

A nice grown up steakhouse dinner doesn’t happen very often these days…and that’s okay, because I can make a date night steak dinner happen at home.  This recipe is awesome because it easily and inexpensively replicates some of the same techniques used at your favorite steak spot. If you are a busy mom with small kids, you have make a romantic meal happen…and this recipe is your new secret weapon for a date night in when the little ones goes down.
