Try beef stroganoff. It's quck, easy and yummy.
Ingredients
675g/1½ lb beef fillet
65g/2½oz unsalted butter
1½ tbsp paprika
1 large onion, very thinly sliced
350g/12oz button mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 tbsp sunflower oil
300ml/10fl oz soured cream
2 tsp lemon juice
small handful of parsley leaves, finely chopped
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Preparation method
1.Cut the steak into slices 1cm/0.5in thick, then cut each slice across the grain into strips 1cm/0.5in wide.
2.Melt the butter in a large frying pan, add the paprika and onion and cook slowly until the onion is soft and sweet, but not browned.
3.Add the mushrooms and fry gently for three minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate and keep warm.
4.Using the same pan you cooked the onion mixture in, heat one and a half tablespoons of sunflower oil until very hot.
5.Add half the fillet steak and fry quickly, seasoning and turning it as you do so, for just over one minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the oil and steak.
6.Return the onion mixture to the pan and pour in the soured cream. Bring to the boil and simmer for a minute or so, until thickened.
7.Return the steak to the pan and heat very gently for one minute - the beef should not be cooked any further.
8.Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and serve with rice or potatoes.

For dessert you could have a chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows. Then you can have fun feeding each other and getting messy. Plus its an aphrodesiac (sp?) xx
