Our Best Father's Dad Dinner Recipes

Whether you start the day with a hearty brunch, choose to fire up the grill and spend the afternoon outdoors or treat him to a special sit-down dinner, there’s no denying that a good meal (plus dessert!) is the one thing Dad will appreciate most on Father’s Day. And, that means you’re going to need a few special recipes to plan the perfect menu. We can help. We’ve rounded up plenty of dad-approved picks like ribs, chops, meaty sandwiches and more. Not sure what to choose? We recommend a recipe fit for a special occasion: Tyler’s dry-aged porterhouse, cooked in a simple-but-flavorful mix of clarified butter and fresh herbs. It’s the perfect way to let Dad know he’s a cut above the rest!
