If ever there was a dish that seemed to be universally enjoyed by Dads, a grilled steak would likely be the one. Father's Day is a day meant for Dad. This year, why not celebrate with a meal that's a favorite of Dads everywhere, using this recipe for "The Perfect Grilled Steak" from Gillian Duffy's "New York Cooks: The 100 Best Recipes from New York Magazine" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang). The Perfect Grilled Steak Serves 4 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter 4 prime New York strip steaks (11/2 inches thick, about 14 to 16 ounces each; the thickness is more important than the weight) 1/2 cup corn oil 8 teaspoons kosher salt 8 teaspoons cracked black pepper 1. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, and skim the milk solids from the surface using a spoon. Set aside to cool. 2. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 to 40 minutes before cooking. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap and allow the steaks to come to room temperature. Before grilling, shape the steaks by gently pushing the sides into the center to create height. 3. Mix the oil and 1/2 cup of the clarified butter on a large serving plate. Put the steaks into the oil-butter mix to coat each side, then lift the steaks to allow excess oil to drip off. Coat each side of the steaks with 1 teaspoon of salt and1 teaspoon of black pepper. 4. Place the meat on the hottest part of the grill. If at any time the grill flares up, move the steaks to the outside edge, returning them to the center when the flame dies down. Do not slide the steaks, gently pick them up. Ultimately, you want to turn a New York strip steak only 3 times, cooking each side twice for 3 minutes at a time. 5. Let the meat rest for 3 to 4 minutes before serving, to allow the juices to emerge from the center. Top five Father's Day surprises 1. Anything homemade, from baked goods to woodwork. Get the kids to draw pictures or pick up a kit that allows them to personalize a travel mug. 2. Tickets to see his favourite band or sports team enclosed in a card. 3.
