The Iowa Beef Industry Council has you covered with beef recipes that are sure to make Father’s Day special and show how much you care.

“There is no better way to celebrate dads this Father’s Day, than with beef on the grill,” said Kylie Peterson, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Iowa Beef Industry Council. “Get the family involved and make one of these great beef recipes, sure to please everyone’s taste buds.”

Take dad on a backyard adventure with Ribeye Steaks with Blue Cheese Butter and Mushrooms. The flavorful taste of the juicy steak, the sizzle of the grill, and being surrounded by loved ones will give dad the gift of escape.

For busy dads on the run try Cumin-Rubbed Steak Tacos with Spicy Grilled Corn Salsa. The simple sweet and spicy rub gives top sirloin steak delicious flavor while homemade grilled corn salsa adds a smoky finish. Wrap the tender steak in a tortilla for a perfect hand-held meal dad can enjoy on the go.

Looking for a summer favorite that is sure to satisfy the reliable, traditional dad in your life? Try this Summer Steak Kabobs recipe. The kids can help by washing the vegetables and threading beef and veggies on the skewers (depending on the kids’ ages), leaving small spaces between pieces. The marinated, tender steak is mouthwatering and the grilled veggies bring out the delicious sirloin flavor that much more.
