We always like to do something that makes Father's Day special. The first thing that comes to my mind is food. What dad doesn't like steak and potatoes for dinner? Here are Father's Day recipes for Steak with Chive Butter and French-Style Potato Salad that are sure to impress. Keep these around because I think you'll want to make them again for your family or to serve to dinner guests.
The colorful potato salad, coated with a slightly tangy dressing, fresh herbs and green onions is delicious. If you can't find tri-colored potatoes, you can certainly use just red or yellow or a red/yellow combination. Add grilled steak topped with a pat of chive butter that slowly melts into the meat and mixes with the natural meat juices and you've got a meal made for the king of the castle.
Use kitchen shears like Cutco's Super Shears to cut the chives.
For mincing shallot and garlic, the wide blade of either the 5" Petite Sanoku or the 7-5/8" Petite Chef Knife provides a lot of surface area for broad strokes.
For the potatoes, the Trimmer (utility knife) works well since its blade length is perfect for cutting small potatoes into quarters for this salad.
The chive butter and potato salad can both be made ahead and refrigerated until serving time.
The steaks cook up quickly indoors in a grill pan on the stove or on your outdoor grill. Dad will be anxious to slice into this juicy piece of meat and the Cutco Steak Knife is the perfect tool for the job.
For dad on his special day, this special steak and potatoes Father's Day dinner will be one he won't forget.
