This Father’s Day, salute dad with a steak!

Thank him with a classic ribeye recipe perfect for hungry men everywhere

No place brings fathers and their loved ones together quite like the kitchen does. Affectionately known as the heart of the home, the kitchen is where generations-old recipes are shared, beloved heirloom cookware is passed down and tabletop family dinners are prepared. It is here that many of the strongest bonds and fondest memories are formed between a father and his family.

This Father’s Day, Certified Angus Beef®brandserves up a classic pan-seared ribeye steakrecipe ideal for hungry dads everywhere. Featuring aribeye cut, this simple, no-fuss recipe from Certified Angus Beef®brand chef Michael Ollier highlights complex layers of flavor with a savory combination of butter, thyme and garlic.The ribeye is easily prepared in twenty minutes or less, transitioning from stovetop to oven using the versatility of a 10-inch Le Creuset® Signature enameled cast iron skillet, which features a useful helper handle to ensure easy and safe movement in the kitchen.

For an easy summer meal dads can prepare together with kids, pair the ribeye with roasted corn or grilled watermelon to keep things simple. If a gourmet dinner is the gift being served to dad this year, complement the steak with warm bean and orzo salad or lemon potatoes and asparagus for a sophisticated presentation. However you choose to dish it out, one thing is certain: The Certified Angus Beef®brand classic, pan-seared ribeye makes a delectable Father’s Day meal that no dad will soon forget.
