The father in your life will love this dee-luxe four-course steak ’n’ potatoes dinner. It’s a sweet way to show you care—via the tummy! First you’ll serve up a tomato bruschetta with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. While he’s tucking in to that, you’ll work on the rest: a creamy, mustardy potato salad, lemony salad greens sprinkled with Parm, and the main event: a juicy grilled bavette steak with a rich dollop of herb butter. Lastly, the key to his heart: creamy mini Key lime pies with real lime juice and a buttery graham cracker crust.

Cooking Steps
Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. (TIP: If using a grill pan, you’ll heat it in Step 2.) Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ¾-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer to a large bowl and let cool completely. TIP: Spread potatoes out around edges of the bowl to help them cool more quickly.
While potatoes cook, slice baguette crosswise into 8 rounds (16 rounds for 4 servings). Quarter tomatoes. Roughly chop parsley. Zest and quarter lemon (for 4, zest one lemon and quarter both). Trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop leaves.
Brush both sides of baguette slices with a large drizzle of olive oil. (If using a grill pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat.) Add bread to grill; cook until toasted, 1-3 minutes per side. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning!
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine half the tomatoes and half the parsley with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Top baguette slices with tomato mixture; drizzle with as much balsamic glaze as you like.
Serve with your favorite beverage for snacking while you prepare the rest of the meal. TIP: Prefer to serve the bruschetta with the main course? Toast now and assemble right before serving!
Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until just softened, 10-15 seconds.
Stir in half the remaining parsley and a pinch of lemon zest (big pinch of zest for 4) until combined. Set aside.
Pat steak* dry with paper towels. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add steak to grill; grill to desired doneness, 4-8 minutes per side (grills can vary).
Transfer steak to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.
PAN ALTERNATIVE: Cook seasoned steak in oiled pan used for bread over medium-high heat, 5-7 minutes per side. (You may need to work in batches for 4 servings.)
To bowl with cooled potatoes, add mayonnaise, half the mustard, remaining parsley, and juice from one lemon wedge (juice from two wedges for 4 servings); stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a second large bowl, whisk together remaining mustard, 3 TBSP olive oil, and juice from two lemon wedges (6 TBSP olive oil and four lemon wedges for 4); season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce and remaining tomatoes to bowl; toss to coat.
Slice steak against the grain.
Divide steak, green salad, and potato salad between plates. Top steak with herb butter and juice from remaining lemon. Sprinkle green salad with Parmesan.
Serve key lime pies for dessert.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a nice Father's day dinner. We did make the steaks on the grill and they were thick, and I like mine well-done so I had to put it back on the grill once. The bruschetta was a good appetizer and I ended up making fries instead of potato salad. The steak had a good flavor and the key lime pie was a nice desert. Overall a good dinner for dad!
A delicious feast! Loved all of this. I would highly recommend doing more cold potato sides in the future. The only thing I would improve on is the dressing for the salad but I think that's a personal preference. I would have gotten this meal regardless of the appetizer and dessert but I appreciated the opportunity to try a key lime pie. I had never had it before and now it's one of my favorites :-D
My husband and I enjoyed this meal for Father's Day! I was very special ❤️ I cut up the produce and started the potato salad and he cooked the steak! We ate the bruschetta together with a glass of red wine and when the steak was as done we enjoyed a wonderful dinner better than a restaurant 😊💕
This is a lot of food to prepare all at once. I made the bruschetta at lunchtime and did the rest later for dinner. The potato salad is very good, however, it's too much with the garden salad. I will save that portion to prepare for another day.
I expected this to be good but it exceeded my expectations--the bruschetta was particularly tasty (I tweaked it a bit, adding minced onion and garlic), and the potato salad was delicious!
Not a fan of potatoes salad but the butter and steak together was great and the bruschetta was 👌 so glad I know how to make it now!!
Nice, good, tasty meal. Steak was definitely super small. A lot of the steaks tend to be a bit too small, it would be nice if they could be bigger because in the pictures they always look bigger. Overall, good meal, but definitely took wayyy longer than the 45 minutes.
The "bavette" steak, aka flank steak, was very tough and gristley. That was one thing we all agreed upon. I liked the potato salad, but mom wasn't happy because it wasn't "HER" potato salad. The green salad was mom's favorite part. Brother was Dad by Proxy, and he said the herb butter made his steak flavorful, but he, too, was disappointed with the toughness of the cut.
We enjoyed the steak but really thought it would be better without the butter. The potato salad would have been better with less dressing. Loved the bruschetta, but next time I will chop the tomatoes much finer.
This was a tasty meal, but it took longer to prepare than I hoped because of the two salads and the appetizer.
