I am a fortunate guy - I had company for dinner on Valentine's Day.  So I was thinking, what would be a perfect Valentine's Day meal for a couple of hungry carnivores with healthy appetites?  The story begins with a pair of 20 oz. 1 1/2" thick Prime Rib steaks:

These were dry aged for a while, and then lightly rubbed with extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground sea salt and black peppercorns.  After a short rest, on to the grill they went.
But, man (or woman) cannot live by steak alone, but one can come close on surf & turf.  So along with the beef, I fetched up some U-10 shrimp and scallops.  When placed alongside a baked potato wearing butter,  sour cream and chives, the feast was complete:

Everything was delicious!  There are however two half-steaks left over, so another great meal lays just over the horizon.
