There's a lot of ways we could try and get you to love this delectable steak and potatoes meal: Have it send you flowers, for example. But we'll stick with the tried and true way, flavors that romance the taste buds. Juicy steak gets crowned with a butter-and-herb combo that blesses every bite with pure buttery delight. Cheesy mashed potatoes and fresh zucchini round out a meal that makes you love it, one bite at a time. Tip: Easier way to mince chives? Line up chive sprigs so they're all going one direction. Use your knife in a rocking motion to chop finely until the herbs are properly minced!
