Are you ready for the weekend? Maybe you have some making up to your Valentine to do.

Whatever the case, it calls for a well-prepared steak. And Rachael Ray’s got just the meal for you.

Watch the video above and then follow the step-by-step instructions for these Cast Iron Steaks and Bacon-Wrapped Potato Skins.

Yeah, I said bacon.

Delicious!

If you had to work on Valentine’s Day or simply forgot — this just might get you out of the doghouse with your sweetie!

Go on, share the love! Happy weekend, everybody!

It’s Friday the 13th!

I’m not very superstitious, but this day does have kind of a Halloweeny-type feel, doesn’t it?

And in that spirit I give you. . . Steak Bites with Bloody Mary Dipping Sauce.

Festive, right?

These come from the super fabulous Rachael Ray so you know they’re good!

They’re bite-sized sirloin with a tasty sauce for dipping. But you could also use tenderloin tips.

Check out the recipe here – and have yourself a spooky dinner tonight!
