What will you do to celebrate Father's Day? We have a most unusual father's day tradition. It's one you've probably never thought of. But every year we...grill steaks. Yes, we, and we alone, throw a few steaks on the grill, open a couple of beers, toss a salad, and consider it a mighty fine celebration.
I know, you read this blog purely for new ideas and creativity, right? Sorry.
But I will share with you my ridiculously simple steak grilling tips.
1) Remove steak from fridge. Set on counter.
2) Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. If you want to get really crazy, rub some minced garlic on them as well.
3) Optional for those with pets: cover with tin foil so the damn cat does not abscond with them.
4) (And this is the really important step) Walk away and do not return for a full hour. Make the salad, open a beer, turn on the sprinklers for the kiddos, whatever.
5) One hour later, get your grill going nice and hot.
6) Sear the steaks on both sides, then cook just a smidgen under your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside (remember the cat! cover them up!) for about 10 minutes.
Happy eating, and most importantly, happy father's day!
