Romantic dinner under 300 calories

Feel like surprising your man, but taking him out to dinner could cost you around $150, plus a restaurant isn't as intimate as your place? believe me, I've there done that...


With a few easy inexpensive ingredients you could turn your living room into a five start steak house. Make sure your parents or roommates aren't home for the night.


I'm going to show you a very easy recipe that not only will cost you less than $50 but it's also under 300 calories. Yummy!



Pan-Seared Filet Mignon with Red-Wine sauce:

-2 Filet Mignon (about 1 1/2 inches thick each)


-1/2 cup Low-sodium beef broth


-1/2 cup of red wine (same one you are planing to drink with the meal)

-1 Tablespoon shallots, minced

-1 teaspoon flour

-1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

-1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

-green beans

-tomatoes

-salt and pepper



In a bowl, mix broth, red wine, shallots, flour and mustard. Heat a heavy-duty skillet oven medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, then sear for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, and tent with foil. Pour wine mixture into hot pan, and bring to broil for 1 minute. Stir in butter and parsley, ad broil 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce over steaks and serve. Add green beans and tomatoes as a side as well as decoration.

Love, missthinwalltet.
