Our Favorite Fathers Day Recipes This Year

The appeal of a perfectly grilled steak

• Garlic herb butter adds a creamy, aromatic layer that melts beautifully over the steak.
• Quick grilling locks in the juices while creating a smoky charred crust.

Ingredients you’ll need for a Favorite Fathers Day Recipes

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Step-by-step preparation for Favorite Fathers Day Recipes

Start by preheating your grill to high heat. While the grill heats up, prepare the garlic herb butter by combining softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the steaks on the hot grill, cooking them for 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through for even searing.

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices. Before serving, top each steak with a generous dollop of garlic herb butter, letting it melt over the warm surface.

Expert tips for grilling success

• Let the steaks come to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
• Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking and achieve clean grill marks.

Ingredient substitutions

• If ribeye isn’t available, try New York strip or filet mignon for equally tender results.
• Dried herbs can be used in place of fresh ones, but reduce the quantity to half to avoid overpowering the butter.
