Remember when you used to make an ashtray out of popsicle sticks for dear old Dad for Father’s Day?

Not such a great idea.

Well, you can still make him something homemade – but this time, he’ll REALLY enjoy it.

Try making him a homemade steak rub (along with a really good cut of meat).

Here’s a fantabulous recipe that will make Dad very, very happy this Sunday. It’s got garlic powder, red chili flakes and lots of other good stuff to make a tasty and memorable steak.

Think of the smiles and tears and accolades for years to come! This will be a Father’s Day to remember. And you won’t have to wait in line at Denny’s.

Seriously, THIS homemade gift will be a Father’s Day home run!

It’s that time of year! So many things to celebrate – Father’s Day, graduations . . . summer!

And how do we celebrate things around here? Why, with food, of course!

So to help us do that, here’s a video of Arturo McLeod, executive chef at Benjamin Steak House in NYC, showing us exactly how to grill that perfect steak or burger.

My favorite takeaway from this one? Heat your grill 30-45 minutes before putting on the steaks.

Now that’s a HOT grill! Makes sense, though.

Mmmm, I can hear that beef sizzling now . . .

Yeah, that headline sounds kinda cavemanish. But it’s basically been a fact since time began that men love beef.

So what better to get dear old Dad this Father’s Day than an exquisite cut of beef – or two?

I know my dad would love it. Who do you think taught me to appreciate a juicy steak?

Here are some great Father’s Day gift ideas that’ll have Dad’s mouth watering and his heart full.

Things like gift boxed Kansas City strip steaks will make him jump for joy (check them out above).

Or what about Wagyu Kobe beef steakburgers? Isn’t Father’s Day the time to break out the really good stuff?

And you can never go wrong with a gift certificate that lets Dad pick his own beefy goodies.

Like a kid in a candy store.

Think about it. But not for too long – you want it to arrive in time for Father’s Day, June 19th!
