I had some people over about a month ago. We had bruschetta, mixed green salad, spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce and dutch apple pie. Can't really go wrong with Italian.
I got rave reviews even though the entire meal was vegan (except for offering cheese on the side) and all my guests were meat-eaters. Of course, you could just make it the "regular" way, and I'm sure you'd still have plenty of thumbs up :).

Steak Stew.
Stewing Steak, Shin, Brisket and other less tender cuts can be used. Brown bite sized seasoned pieces a few at a time in some oil in a fry pan and transfer to a slow cooker, heavy based pot or casserole dish.
Add a little more oil from time to time as necessary and then fry off some onions, garlic and add mixed herbs and stock or water.
Stir well to get all the flavourful bits from the meat of the pan and pour over the pieces and cover.
Cook on low for as long as possible. (About 60 minutes per 500gm)
Serve with mashed potatoes, peas and sweet corn or butter beans for colour
