Grilling Romance: A Valentine’s Day Dinner for Two

3-minute read | Recipes

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s the perfect time to start planning a memorable evening with your special someone. While dining out at a fancy restaurant is always a great idea, there’s something incredibly intimate about cooking a meal yourself. Preparing a delicious dinner together can create a deeper connection and leave lasting memories.

Let’s explore a few Valentine’s Day dinner ideas, focusing specifically on grilling for two. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just starting out, these tips will help you craft a romantic and delicious meal.

Finding the Right Recipe

Before diving into the ambiance and decor, you’ll want to decide on the menu. Think about what both you and your partner will enjoy—perhaps a classic steak, a flavorful burger, or something lighter like grilled fish or vegetables. A popular choice that works beautifully for couples is a perfectly grilled Filet Mignon.

For beginners, simplicity is key. Here’s an easy-to-follow Grilled Filet Mignon recipe paired with grilled vegetables. The recipe serves four, but feel free to halve it to avoid leftovers—or save some for later!

Total cooking time is 19 minutes, with prep taking only 7 minutes, and grilling each side for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. If you prefer your steak more done, adjust accordingly.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 teaspoons of sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons of coarse ground black pepper
  • 4 filet mignons (about 1 3/4 inches thick each)
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or grapeseed oil)

Cooking Your Meal

  • Preheat your gas grill to high heat.
  • Mix the salt and pepper together and generously rub it onto both sides of each filet mignon.
  • Brush the grill grates with oil and place the steaks on the hot grill, using avocado oil for its high smoke point.
  • Cook each side for 5-6 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preference.
  • Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

While the steaks are resting, you can grill your vegetables wrapped in aluminum foil for about 10 minutes. If you’d like, you can also throw in some potatoes. Poke them with holes and wrap them in foil too. They’ll take longer to cook than the veggies, so start them earlier—ideally about an hour before your steaks.

Serve everything piping hot, keeping it warm on the grill or in a low-temperature oven until ready to eat.

Setting the Mood Outdoors

Now that the food is sorted, it’s time to set the stage for romance. Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere by using a tabletop fire feature like the Ambiance Mini. It adds warmth and a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. Make sure the seating area is comfortable and warm—especially if it’s chilly outside. Patio heaters can do wonders here, but remember to use them safely and follow all instructions.

With the right ambiance and a delicious meal, your Valentine’s Day for two is sure to be unforgettable.
