Celebrate Father’s Day With Steak... For Dinner & Dessert
From Tonia Turner
This year, make a Father’s Day feast fit for your steak-loving king with a couple of treats that will ignite his love of grilling. Most men love a good steak and a T-bone steak offers up a big, meaty portion that any man would be happy to receive for dinner and dessert.
T-Bone Steaks
4 T-Bone Steaks
2 tablespoons cooking oil Dad’s Steak Rub (following)
DIRECTIONS: Thaw steaks overnight in refrigerator or quick
thaw by placing sealed steaks in
sink with water for 30-60 min.
Prepare rub recipe (below). Heat
grill on medium. Blot dry steaks
with clean paper towel, then
brush each side with cooking oil. Generously season both sides of
steaks with rub. Grill steaks to
desired doneness. For medium
rare steak, grill for about 8 min.
on first side and 6–7 min. on second side.
Dad’s Steak Rub
4 tablespoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon each ground black pepper & dried onion flakes
1⁄2 tablespoon each dehydrated garlic & crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon each whole dill seed and whole thyme
1 teaspoon whole cumin & coriander (toasted and crushed coarse)
DIRECTIONS: Combine all and mix well. Store in air tight container or zip lock bag for up to 6 months.
Note: To prepare cumin and coriander, toast by placing in dry pan over medium heat, shaking pan about 2–3 minutes until seasonings start to brown. Crush using the bottom of pan on a cutting board or with mortar and pestle.
A Dad- Dessert
Well Done Steaks: Use one box of brownie mix
For Rare Steaks: Use one box of brownie mix and add 8 oz. softened cream cheese and red food coloring to the mix before baking.
16 ounces chocolate candy coating
1⁄4 cup peanut butter
Black food coloring (for grill marks) Crushed Rice Krispies and Oreo cookie
(for salt & pepper)
DIRECTIONS: Bake brownies in a 9 x13” pan
according to instructions on box. (For thicker, more cake-like brownies, add an extra egg.) Allow them to cool in the pan. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, bend it slightly into the shape of a T-bone steak. Cut steak shapes out of the pan of brownies. Trim away the outer edges and use a spatula to lift the brownies out of the pan. Place them on a wire rack.
Melt 16 oz. of chocolate candy coating in the microwave, in 30-second increments until melted. Pour the melted chocolate candy coating over the tops and sides of the brownies. With a knife, smooth the candy coating over the tops and sides evenly. Allow them to drip, cool and dry.
With a toothpick or wooden skewer, scratch grill mark lines into the candy coat- ing. Add water to some black food color gel and lightly paint the grill marks on the brownie.
Pipe peanut butter in the shape of a small T-bone on the top and down the center of the steak brownie.
Crush up a few pieces of Rice Krispies cereal and an Oreo cookie wafer. Sprinkle it over the steak brownies to look like salt and pepper flakes.
For a finishing touch, print out some steak markers on card stock paper, cut them out and insert them into your steak brownies.
