Father’s Day Steak Recipe Roundup

June 11, 2019 - By Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan - Updated September 22, 2019 - 2 Comments

Graphic for Steak Recipe Roundup

Time for some great steaks for Father’s Day. Good old dad needs and deserves a nicely done steak. And you can deliver it with any of these recipes by just following the easy step by step photo instructions.

So you have a choice about what to get dad for Father’s Day, a tie or steak. Speaking as a dad, I want steak. Make it a tradition, so you are covered every year, an easy choice.

A Brief Beef Discussion

There are eight beef quality grades from the USDA, but we are only going to discuss three: Prime, Choice, and all the others. You will not be buying (I hope) beef lower than Choice.

Only about 2 percent of all beef will grade out to be prime. But over 2/3 of all beef will be graded as choice.  Prime will cost more (about double) but for a special occasion is worth it to me. But Choice beef is an excellent value, just look for a well trimmed and marbled steak.

The grading is based on the degree of marbling (the fat in the meat) and the age of the animal. The marketers try to confuse things with their branding but just pay attention to the USDA grade.

Cooking the Steak

I have included both grill and stove based recipes but want to emphasize that you must (MUST) be able to check the internal temperature of your steak, or you will most likely be very disappointed with the results.

All recipes state the need for an instant-read thermometer, but people still try to cook by time only. Please do not be that cook. Check The Cooking for Two Shop if you need a suggestion.

Grill Recipes

The traditional way to cook a steak. Some use high heat, and some use medium heat. Please read the instructions closely. If you need help with the grill temperature, please check A Beginners Guide to Grill Temperature on a Gas Grill.
