Introduction:
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate love than with a cozy and romantic date night at home? Skip the crowded restaurants and create a memorable evening with your loved one by cooking up a delicious meal together. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the steps to create a mouthwatering dinner featuring grilled steak and a delightful dessert pizza, all cooked to perfection in your own pizza oven.
Setting the Scene:
Set the mood for romance by dimming the lights, lighting some candles, and playing your favourite love songs in the background. Create a cozy atmosphere where you and your partner can relax and enjoy each other's company.
Grilled Steak:
Start your Valentine's Day dinner with a sizzling grilled steak cooked to perfection in your pizza oven. Choose top-quality, thick-cut steaks with marbling for maximum flavour. Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and your favourite steak rub, then fire up your pizza oven to achieve high heat, around 500°C.
Once your pizza oven is ready, preheat a cast iron grizzler plate inside for about 5 minutes. Carefully place the seasoned steaks on the hot grizzler plate using tongs, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your steaks reach the desired internal temperature.
After cooking, let the steaks rest for a few minutes, then slice them thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve the grilled steaks with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

For a sweet ending to your Valentine's Day dinner, indulge in a decadent dessert pizza made in your pizza oven. Prepare your favourite pizza dough or use a store-bought one for convenience. Roll out the dough into a heart shape, symbolizing your love for each other.

Spread a generous layer of Nutella or chocolate spread over the dough, then top with sliced strawberries, bananas, or any other fruit of your choice. Sprinkle with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch. But you should top yours with whatever your (or your beloved’s) heart desires.

Carefully slide the dessert pizza into your preheated pizza oven and bake for a few minutes until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are melted and gooey. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
