Whenever we go out for dinner my husband cannot resist a steak, so our valentines meal has to be a gorgeous Côte de boeuf to share. Here I’ve served it with oven baked chips (which are so good so please do try) and a green salad with Parmesan shavings, lemon and truffle oil. Oh yes and a quick tarragon aioli. What are your Valentines plans?
