Why Fire Cooking Is the Perfect Father’s Day Celebration
There’s something timeless about gathering around a fire. The sound of sizzling meat, the smell of woodsmoke in the air, and the reward of cooking with your own hands—it’s an experience that brings people together. This Father’s Day, skip the reservations and make the forest (or your backyard) your kitchen with a menu built for flame, flavor, and memories.
The Fire-Cooked Menu Dad Deserves
1. Reverse-Seared Tomahawk Steak
Start with the king of cuts. Season a thick tomahawk ribeye with salt, cracked pepper, and garlic powder. Slowly bring it up to temp over indirect heat, then finish with a blazing sear over open flame for that perfect crust. Rest and slice using the Special Edition Cleaver—its full tang and wide blade are made for rugged slicing and serving.
2. Smoked Potatoes with Garlic Herb Butter
Wrap baby potatoes in foil with olive oil, smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Nestle them into the coals and forget about them while you prep the rest of the meal. The result: creamy, smoky, buttery goodness that pairs beautifully with grilled meats.
Serve them up using the Olive Wood 5 PC Utensil Set, which brings rustic charm and heat resistance to your outdoor table.
3. Charred Corn on the Cob with Chili Lime Butter
Throw corn—husks and all—directly onto the fire. Once charred, peel and brush with a mix of butter, lime zest, chili powder, and sea salt. It’s simple, smoky, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Use the Damascus Cleaver to halve cobs or slice off kernels for salads—its 67 layers of Damascus steel are not only beautiful, but razor-sharp and ready for action.
4. Campfire Skillet Dessert: Chocolate Chip Bannock
Dad deserves dessert. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, water, and chocolate chips. Press the dough into a hot Cast Iron Skillet and bake over low flame until golden. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a scoop of ice cream if you’re fancy like that.
