    Now all I need is a valentine! Actually I lost my 39 year valentine to brain cancer four years ago. But he will always be mine! His legacy lives on in our three sons! Now we have six grandchildren, four boys and two girls! I have the utmost respects for your cooking skills. I only wish I could eat your cooking all the time! You’re the greatest! Thanks so much for sharing these videos!

    Steaks are difficult. I have tried many methods and the one that I find flawless is what is known as "constant flip," constantly flipping every 2 minutes per side until done to your liking. On the last flip you can still do the butter and garlic if that's your thing. This way you get a beautiful even crust and the inside is cooked evenly with no gray or well-done borders.

    Thank you! Thank you? Thank you! I am not a cook…not like my hubby who owned restaurants. He does most of the cooking so when I to,d him what to buy for my Valentines dinner for us…he tried to tell my how to cook the steaks…how to cook the lobster. He kept asking. “Have you ever…..?” I told him either to shut up and cook the meal himself or leave me alone. My prep took about 45 mins. But the whole meal came together in an hour. The lobster Mac and cheese was OVER THE TOP!! The steaks melted in your mouth and I used broccoli. I live in a small town and could not even buy the cheeses you suggested. Ended up with a sharp white cheddar along with the other two cheeses. The cheddar cheese on top was beautiful!! I brought a gaze for my broccoli and topped with some sprinkled shaved parm. Making the cheese sauce was a breeze with your instructions. My husband practically licked his plate. What a meal. How to you spell success? MR. MAKE IT HAPPEN!! I have followed you for about a year now and love everything you make…excuse me…everything I make!! (With a lot of help for you!!) Happy Valentines Day!! ❤

    I always salt 🧂 my steaks! It's a great tip i learned about a year ago doing an experiment and our steaks came out so juicy and tender 😋! It's delicious and yes you will definitely be able to tell a difference if a steak has been salt seasoned hours b4 cooking. I do like a little pepper, butter n garlic to my steaks. Just so delicious. Steaks are not salty. I know alot of people think alot of salt on a steak is too much but cheating is okay n a good way to enjoy a tasty steak.

    That Steak is not Medium Rare. It‘s more like Medium. It was Medium Rare before you let it rest. But while it‘s resting the Temperature keeps getting higher. So for Medium Rare you would need to pull it earlier. Probably at 130 and not at 135.

    It took me awhile to learn to cook steak to the right doneness. I found I could control the outcome better by using thicker cuts 1.5 to 2” steaks. That’s because the steak continues to cook while resting. A couple of days ago I pulled a steak off the stove at 128 Degrees and after resting it hit 135. Yum. The Mac and lobster is pure perfection…..gona do it.
