Father’s Day is up next on the event calendar. I’m grateful for the fathers in my life: my own father who provided for my two sisters, myself, and our mother during our growing-up years and my grandfather who was a positive and loving influence in my life.
I am also very grateful for the perfect-for-me man that I married who has provided for our own family in every way. He also had very strong role models in his father and grandfathers.
While most of these men are no longer with us, we will be remembering them all this Father’s Day while we celebrate. I think they all would have loved this steak recipe. Grilling was a favorite way to cook for these men and choice cuts of beef were reserved for special occasions. This steak gets an additional flavor boost from the onion & blue cheese sauce that accompanies it.
