Making a steak can seem daunting, but this recipe has made it pretty easy to prepare fairly tough-cut meat. This recipe by Delish has only four ingredients for the simple marinade, and the results depend on how you grill it.
All you need is 1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil ¼ c. low sodium soy sauce, 2tbsp lime juice, and 2 tbsp packed brown sugar. Mix these ingredients in a large bowl. Before tossing the steak in it, season it with some freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt. Marinate the meat for about 30 minutes at least.
The secret to a juicy steak is the time you give it for marination; the more time you give it, the better it’ll taste. The next step is grilling. Pre-heat your grill to medium-high before placing the steaks on it and cooking it for 6 minutes per side. Your juicy flank steak is ready! Bon appetite.

If your partner is a seafood lover, surprise them with lobster bisque for dinner. It’s one of the best ideas for date night.

The next step is to add garlic, celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and water to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil.
Cook it on medium-low heat and simmer till only 2 1/2 cups of the broth remain. Pour the mixture through a strainer. Discard the solids and set the rest aside.
Moving on, melt more butter in a skillet and add tomato paste, carrots, onions, mushrooms, cayenne, and a little bit of salt. Stir the ingredients and cook them till all the vegetables are tender. Add some wine, bring it to a boil. Then add the lobster stock and cook it for 10 minutes.
After this mixture is ready, blend it and turn it into a puree. Add milk and cream and bring it to a boil. Lastly, add lobster meat and garnish it. Your lobster bisque is ready in just 40 minutes, and it’s going to be one of the most delicious Valentine’s Day treats.
