Easily Prepared Tender Garlic T-bone Steak with two simple side dishes
Valentines Day is right in a few days, and everyone will be spending their top dollars on candy, flowers, and dinners at expensive restaurants. I’m not one to tell you all to NOT eat out, but I will tell you that there are other options. Instead of paying $100+ on a simple dinner, you can buy ingredients, and make dinner at home and end up paying a fraction of the price. This option is also perfect for those of us parents that can’t find a babysitter OR like to celebrate valentines day as a family.
In this post, I’m going to show you how I made this super easy Garlic steak dinner for two ( that can easily be turned into a dinner for 4 or more). The steak used are t-bones, and instead of grilling them, I will prepare them in the oven! I will also prepare two simple side dishes, that will also be popped in the oven. Like, seriously- these recipe is practically foolproof. Check it out!
Watch me cook the dinner
