Buttery and garlicky–it's downright delicious!

A well-cooked steak dinner is about as good as it gets if you want to serve a cowboy-approved meal. But if you're looking to serve your own Marlboro Man something fancy—say, a Father's Day dinner for Dad or a special dinner idea for two—this garlic butter steak fits the bill. Pair it with a serving of warm spinach salad or go all-out by following Ree Drummond's suggestion: "Make a double batch of the garlic butter and use it for garlic bread!"
