First things first - most men (not all) are meat and potatoes - if you make a balanced meal around the two, adding a small thing here and there will not take much effort.
Steak - a mans favorite food - get a good cut such as a nice, marbled rib-eye or a NY strip - season with simple salt and pepper, cook until medium/medium rare (or his likeness) and allow 5-7 minutes of resting time for the juices to redistribute..
Oh wait - we are in the middle of a recession - we cannot afford NY strip right now so...get beef when it is cheap, on sale, or has been reduced. If you choose to cook your beef on the stovetop, here is a great tip.
Once cooked to doneness, remove from pan. Reserve pan and drippings. Add butter and broth, whisk together and then add flour - small amounts to thicken. You have a beatuiful pan sauce to
serve.
Side dish - cut up potatoes, skin on or off, coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper - or other seasonings - but your husband is picky so this might not be the time to experiment. Place in a preheated oven - 425F - turning every 20 minutes, crisping the sides, until cooked through.
