Did you have a great Father’s Day?
We did. You know why? ‘Cause we did this . . .
. . . and this . . .
It was a full-on frenzy of Father’s Day steak magic.
The dads in my life were quite pleased. And stuffed. And celebrated.
I hope you had a fabulous one, too!

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 . . .
Here’s an idea for smoky steaks – just in time for Memorial Day!
This requires a smoker to give the meat that amazing smoked flavor, and then finishing them off on the grill. This recipe comes to us from SmokinTex for use in their electric outdoor smokers. But you can use any smoker you can get your hands on.
See what ya think! Sounds delectable to me!

Zip’s Smoked Steak
1-1/2″ thick Sirloin
2″ Filet (or bigger)
Seasoned to taste or Zip’s Steak Rub
Add 2 oz. Hickory Wood to SmokinTex
Place steaks in smoker @ 225 degrees and smoke for 30 to 45 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness of steak.
Once steak is in the smoker, fire up the grill – either gas or charcoal – and get it hot. I use a charcoal grill and want the coals at their hottest when I pull the steak from smoker.
Remove steak from SmokinTex and lightly reapply seasoning to taste.
Place steak over direct heat to sear the meat to your desired doneness. 2 minutes per side for medium rare.
No steak knife needed, only a fork.
Zip’s Steak Rub Mix together and apply heavily to steak. Photo and recipe courtesy of SmokinTex.com. |
