Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's!

I knew a Perfectly Pan Seared Steak would be perfect for Fathers Day Sunday Supper.

Then I saw lobster tails went on sale and knew a Perfectly Pan Seared Steak smothered in Hollandaise Sauce and topped with a few slices of Lobster Tail was going to be the perfect man food to show Colt just how much we appreciate and love him!

He's really done a lot this last year doing so many of the things I've been unable to do.

He has come home after work to make dinner when my pains become unbearable and all I can think of is crawling into a ball.<

He'll say don't worry about it we can handle this.

Colt's taken almost all of my finished photos this last year including the one above. He's gained a lot of patiences with my picky ways of angles and plating.

But most of all he is and has always been an amazing Father.

He's patient and understanding. 

Loving and kind. 

When the kids were little he would lay next to their beds and read to them until they feel asleep, many nights after a long day at work. 

I can't tell you how many times I had to wake him up slumped over on their beds.

This recipes for all those Dad's who make our lives special!

Worcestershire Sauce, Balsamic Vinegar, and OliveOil in a stainless steel mixing bowl.

In a small bowl combined:

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Mix until well combined.

3 Boneless Rib Eye Steaks on a white plate with marinade over the top with salt and pepper.

Pour half of Worcestershire Marinade Mixture over 3 large Steaks. We used 3/4 pound Boneless Rib Eyes.

Sprinkle over Steaks:
  • 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper
Rub mixture into steaks well.

Flip steaks over and apply remaining worcestershire sauce mixture, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Rub into steaks well. 

Cover and place back into the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to a day. 

3 Boneless Rib Eye Steaks in a cast iron pan.
When you are ready to cook steaks heat a heavy duty well seasoned cast iron pan without any oil over high heat until hot.

If your pan isn't well seasoned add about 2 tablespoons Butter to pan and melt.

Use a paper towel to blot excess moisture off of steaks for the best crust.

Add steak and cook for 4-8 minutes per side dependent on thickness of steak and how well done you like your steak.

Colt bought about 1/3" thick rib eyes on this trip and they took about 4 minutes per side for a medium  to medium rare steak.

3 Boneless Rib Eye Steaks Pan Seared in a cast iron frying pan.

Once steak is seared flip steak over and cook until desired doneness.
For thick steaks that are more well done turn down temperature once outside of steak is seared until desired doneness is reached.
Using an instant read thermometer the temperature should be about:
  • 120° For Rare
  • 130° For Medium Rare
  • 140° For Medium
  • 150° For Medium Well
  • 160° For Well Done (A Well Done Steak will be much drier and firmer.)
If the outside is getting too done and the inside still needs to cook reduce temperature to medium-low until desired temperature is reached.
Remove steaks to a plate and cover with tin foil.

Allow steaks to rest 5 minutes to allow the juices to absorb back into the steaks for juicy steaks.

4 Egg Yolks, Water and Lemon Juice in the top of a double boiler.

Meanwhile to make Hollandaise Sauce in a large bowl or top of double boiler combine: 
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 2 tablespoon Water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Whisk until well combined.
1/2 cup Butter Sliced in 1 1/2 tablespoon sized pieces.

Slice 1/2 cup butter into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized pieces.

Butter being whiskey into egg yolk mixture in the top of a double boiler.

Add 2 slices of butter to the egg mixture and place over boiling water in double boiler.

Whisk continually until butter melts and eggs start to thicken.

Hollandaise Sauce mixture.

Add an additional 2 slices of butter and whisk until butter melts. 

Add remaining butter and mix until mixture is thickened and hot.

If eggs start to curdle of separate whisk in an additional 1-2 tablespoons boiling water into hollandaise sauce.

If your really looking to impress the ones you love add about 6 ounces of cooked lobster tail as a special surprise.

Steamed Asparagus or Broccoli are fabulous with the hollandaise sauce and sure to be the perfect accompaniment to this meal.
