Joe and I enjoyed a lovely Valentine’s dinner last night at Morton’s Steakhouse with our good friends Donna and Jim. We had such a nice time. It’s a real treat for us to go there, we only go 1-2 times a year. They’re dinner menu is to die for!
We enjoyed our selections from their Valentine’s Day special. We both had the Morton’s Salad, the Colossal Shrimp Alexander, a Petite Fillet, Baked Potato with butter, sour cream and bacon, Sauteed Spinach and Mushrooms and our desserts were Key Lime Pie, which I had to bring home! The meal was absolutely delicious!
I am often asked what my favorite foods are to eat and to prepare. Last night on the drive home, I decided that my two favorite restaurants are Morton’s Steakhouse and The Kampai. I especially love these two restaurants because they use very simple preparation techniques and use high quality ingredients. This is my kitchen mantra as well. You will notice that my recipes are quite simple and use good, readily available ingredients.
A couple of steakhouse related recipes you should check out would be my Simple Barbecued Ribs and my Simple Grilled Steak with Homemade Rub. The ribs are extremely tender and there is no boiling involved. You can get them grill ready and freeze for another time if you wish. The steak is so, so good. I love it served the traditional way with a baked potato with butter and sour cream and a salad with crumbled bleu cheese. So easy to prepare and very wallet friendly.
I hope you all get to enjoy a nice relaxing Valentine’s Day dinner too:-)
Good eating!
