Dad will be thrilled to gather around the grill with his family to enjoy this memorable summer meal. Cocktails infused with cucumber and chile get the evening off to a spicy start, and dates wrapped in bacon are an indulgent starter. A simple yet succulent steak is served with a sauce that is best prepared a day in advance, the better to spend more time with the guest of honor, who will surely feel special when presented with a Black Forest cake for dessert.
