Table settings, candlelight, a glass of something delicious and a plate of something impressive, all ready in under an hour. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, the dreary midpoint of winter is the perfect time to remind yourself of the pleasures of a great meal.

This is just a delicious, simple combination of great steaks, with all their fantastic juices, given a slightly Spanish twist using paprika and grilled chillies and peppers. Lovely served with a nice refreshing dollop of crème fraîche, the meat is also wonderful served just on its own. It's also good inside some pita bread with salad, or with some rice.

Sauce up that steak with something other than BBQ sauce tonight. Try this fresh salsa for a simple, colourful finish.
