Here’s how to cook the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner using these premium ingredients.

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:

1. Preparing the New York Strip Steaks:

  1. Season the Steaks:
    • Start by removing the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
    • Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. For an extra boost of flavor, you can rub a bit of olive oil on the steaks and add a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning.
  2. Searing the Steaks:
    • Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of butter or a bit of olive oil to the pan.
    • Once the pan is hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. If you prefer your steak more well-done, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
    • For extra flavor, you can add a sprig of rosemary or thyme to the pan while cooking, and spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they cook.
  3. Rest the Steaks:
    • Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender, juicy steak.

2. Cooking the Lobster Tails:

  1. Preparation:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Use kitchen shears to cut down the top of each lobster tail, splitting it in half lengthwise. Be careful not to cut through the tail meat entirely. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell for a beautiful presentation.
  2. Seasoning the Lobster:
    • Brush the lobster meat with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. You can also add a sprinkle of paprika or garlic powder for extra flavor.
  3. Baking the Lobster:
    • Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes, depending on their size, until the meat is opaque and cooked through. The lobster tails should be firm but tender when done.

3. Reheating the Shrimp:

Since the shrimp is already cooked, you’ll only need to reheat it, keeping it juicy and tender.

  1. Sautéing Shrimp:
    • Heat a little butter or olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until they’re heated through.
    • Add a little minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor if desired.
  2. Alternative Reheating Option:
    • You can also reheat the shrimp in the oven (at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes) or by quickly microwaving it in a microwave-safe bowl, covering it with a damp paper towel to keep moisture in.

4. Side Dish Suggestions:

Now that you have your main dishes covered, here are some perfect side dishes to accompany your Valentine’s Day feast:

  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes with a hint of roasted garlic will complement the rich flavors of the steak and lobster.
  • Sautéed Asparagus: Lightly sautéed asparagus with a squeeze of lemon adds a fresh and bright contrast to the meal.
  • Roasted Vegetables: Roasted carrots, Brussels sprouts, or a medley of seasonal vegetables can add both color and flavor to your plate.
  • Caesar Salad: A fresh Caesar salad with crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan will add a refreshing bite.

Finishing Touches:

  • Lemon Butter Sauce for Lobster: If you want to take the lobster to the next level, consider making a simple lemon butter sauce. Melt butter in a small saucepan, add a squeeze of lemon juice, and toss in a pinch of garlic powder or fresh garlic. Drizzle over the lobster tails before serving.
  • Wine Pairing: Pair your meal with a crisp white wine like a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc to complement the seafood and steak.

Serving the Meal:

Once everything is cooked, plate the meal with care:

  • Place the juicy, tender New York Strip steaks on the plate.
  • Arrange the lobster tails beside the steak, and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the lobster if desired.
  • Add a generous portion of the reheated shrimp on the side.
  • Don’t forget the sides! Arrange the garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, or your favorite vegetable sides neatly on the plate.

For a romantic touch, garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary and a wedge of lemon for added color and brightness.
