This traditional dinner for Valentine's Day is rich, fancy, and satisfying. If you want to save money, make this dinner just for two. Cut down on the recipes, and if you have leftovers, enjoy them the next day.

I think ribeye steaks have the best value, but if you want to spend less, buy a round steak and marinate it in a mixture of 1/3 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram in the fridge for 24 hours. It will then be tender and flavorful.
