It's become a tradition in my household that I cook dinner on Valentine's Day.
This year I tried something a little out of the box: I butter poached bone-in top loin and accompanied it with Potatoes Romanoff, Caesar salad, Finca El Origen Malbec (2013) and chocolate covered strawberries.

First, clarify 3lbs of butter. Add 3 rough chopped shallots and some sprigs of thyme. Improvise a double boiler and bring the butter up to 140-150F. Immerse the steaks, 30min/inch of thickness. If the butter doesn't cover it, flip them halfway through.
I've got a pregnant wife (no undercooked meat), so I brought the steaks to ~140F then pulled them out and shook them off. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high, re-season the steaks with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet, 1 min on each side.
Profit.

Very, very tender and moist. Evenly cooked and was top five in best steaks I've ever had.
Highly recommended.
Start to finish, including the Romanoff was just shy of 3 hrs, but I don't cook well in parallel, so I take a bit longer. If you prepped everything beforehand (clarified the butter, measured ingredients, etc), fridge to plate under an hour is doable.
