MINNEAPOLIS — Have you ever considered taking date night to the grill?
P.S. Steak, a modern steakhouse located in the main level of the
historic 510 Groveland building in Minneapolis, is serving up a special seasonal grilled menu for Date Night.
Chef de Cuisine, Evan Plymire, stopped by KARE 11 Saturday to share two recipes you can make for your date at home: Denver Steak and Aligot Potato.

Season steak generously, and grill to desired temperature.
