A Late Idea for Valentine's Day

I came home on February 14th and found my boyfriend preparing dinner. He was sautéing mushrooms in butter, beef broth and red wine, as I have shown him a few times. They smelled amazing. I then saw that he had procured this from the market:



We seasoned it with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, celery salt and smoked paprika. We grilled it at medium-high heat on a propane grill for 8 minutes on one side and 7 minutes on the other. The reason for the long cook time was the volume and the thickness of the steak--it was just about 2 inches thick! We allowed it to rest for 10 minutes wrapped in aluminum foil. When we cut into it, it was still hot and juicy and nicely pink in the center. We put the mushrooms on top and served it with a salad (spinach, arugula, romaine, tomatoes, avocado, sunflower seeds and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing).

All in all, it was an awesome Valentine's Day!
