Wanna impress him with something he’ll love? Fabulous STEAK dinner for two!

I made this for our dinner last night… Steak and veggies from the market!
Steak:
Pre-heat the oven to 400F 
Season the steak and toss on the grill or sear on either side in an oven safe frying pan, and then put in the oven. Depending on how big your steak is and how you like your steak cooked; it can take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes in the oven (His took 30 minutes because it was huge and he likes it medium – mine took 10 because it was tiny and I like it on the medium rare side).
Veggies: I had pre-boiled the sweet potato and beets prior to today for snacks.
Sweet potato: Mash the sweet potato add a little dash of milk, a TBSP of earth balance butter and some brown sugar
Beets: Slice the beets toss in frying pan.  Mix some balsamic and brown sugar pour over beets.  I crushed some pecans and threw in the pan for an extra crunch.
Greens: Sautee some crushed garlic cloves, 1/4 yellow onion, cut up some chard or whatever greens you like. I used swiss chard and spinach.
