Hey, Cupid! Valentine’s Day is ALMOST HERE. If you haven’t yet planned your at-home date night this year, fear not, there’s still time. Our go-to for date night is usually steak. If you want to impress your Valentine with a fancy steak dinner this year but don’t enjoy spending time out on the grill, aren’t a confident cook, or just need to save time in the kitchen, the Simply! Sous Vide products from Verde Farms might be a perfect fit for you.

What drew us initially to Verde Farms is their tradition of raising cattle, respecting the land and the cattle and working with family farmers to provide high-quality 100% grass-fed beef. That’s right, 100% grass-fed, 100% organic, 100% free-range, antibiotic and hormone free! The story of Verde Farms is compelling and you can read more about the why behind their products here. Before Simply! Sous Vide products arrive on the shelf, the 100% grass-fed and organic beef is slow-cooked over low heat for over an hour and then vacuum-packed. Verde has made it possible for us all to prepare an amazingly tender, flavorful, and completely foolproof steak in six minutes. We made a romantic dinner for two in no time at all using their Simply Sear It! Steakhouse Ribeyes.

They couldn’t be easier to make. All we had to do was sear the steaks for 90 seconds on each side in a hot pan. We used our trusty cast iron pan with just a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.

I wish you could hear them sizzle! After these beauties were cooked, they needed to rest for just a couple minutes. And that’s IT. I kid you not. The cooking process was so easy and fast that I had to work FAST to take pictures! At this point, we were ready to dig in.

The sky is the limit on what to serve with your Verde Farms steaks. For our Valentine’s date night at home, we decided to make roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes topped with crispy shallots. Look at this Valentine of mine!

Couldn’t be easier. And guess what? You don’t HAVE to make this meal for Valentine’s Day. These steaks cook so quickly that you can enjoy a hearty steak dinner even on your busiest nights.

Another aspect of Verde’s products we appreciated is the price. These steaks don’t break the bank, and the price per pound was impressive considering it is all organic and grass-fed. Hey, you could even spend that money you just saved on a bouquet of flowers to go with the meal.

The view from both sides of our table was so grand, I had to post two pictures here.

We are interested in trying the Verde Farms Simply Sear It! Carne Asada Steak Strips and Simply Shred It! Barbacoa Shreds, made with all organic ingredients. We also have our eyes on their raw single ingredient items, such as their ground beef, steaks, and more.

The organic meat section of Schnucks was stocked with Verde products when we went. We hope you all have an excellent Valentine’s Day weekend, and remember that if you’re looking for an easy at-home date night meal, Verde Farms has several options that are sure to impress your Valentine.
