OF course you can buy your father a present for Father’s Day, but you can do one better by making him a three-course meal from scratch (or mostly from scratch). San Miguel Foods Culinary Center’s Home Foodie released a Father’s Day Menu Plan for Sunday (Father’s Day is on June 21) so you can start planning your own Father’s Day Menu. The company gave three menus with dishes meant to complement each other, but you can always mix and match depending on your family’s tastes. If you’re feeling a bit more affectionate, maybe you can make all nine dishes.

Menu 1 features Shrimp Scampi, Grilled Rib-eye steaks with Black Peppercorn Gravy, and Bread Pudding in a Pan; Menu 2 features Squash Cream Soup, Twice-cooked Shanghai Stuffed Chicken, and Banoffee Trifle; Menu 3 features Quick Pancit Miki, Inasal-style Pork Barbeque, and Maja blanca.

Following are the recipes from Menu 1. All the recipes can be found on San Miguel Foods Culinary Center’s Home Foodie (https://homefoodie.com.ph/)

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLACK PEPPERCORN GRAVY (FROM MENU 1)

Ingredients:

4 pc Monterey Rib-eye steaks

1/2 cup Magnolia Gold Butter, salted

1/4 cup Magnolia All-purpose Flour

1 tsp iodized fine salt

1/2 tsp pepper

peppercorn gravy

1/2 cup beef stock

2 tbsp whole peppercorns, freshly crushed

1/2 tbsp liquid seasoning

Procedure:

  1. Prepare gravy by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until a paste is formed. Gradually add in stock, while continuously whisking, until mixture is free from lumps. Add peppercorns and liquid seasoning. Mix well and bring to a boil then let simmer for about three to four minutes. Set aside.
  2. Season steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat grill pan over high heat and brush a little oil onto the pan. When the grill is smoking hot, lower heat to medium and arrange steaks.
  4. Cook steaks on each side depending on desired doneness, about two minutes for medium-rare, three minutes for medium and four minutes for well-done. To achieve perfect grill marks on steaks, grill steaks on the 10 o’clock position. After two minutes, turn steak to the two o’clock position.
  5. Place steaks on a platter and pour gravy just before serving or serve on the side.
  6. Serves four.
