And if you're looking for a delicious meal

to cook for dad, join us in the kitchen.

Gordon shares his secretsfor a perfectly cooked steak.

Here is a sneak peek.

- [Announcer] Cookingwith Gordon on CBN Family.

- One other tip, don't put pepper on it

before you put it in the cast iron

'cause pepper will just burn.

Salt won't burn, salt's a rock.

But pepper will burn andit'll give it a burnt flavor.

And so, add pepper after.

- Okay, so like, immediatelyafter or wait a little bit?

- We'll get to that.

I have this thing calledmaître d' butter that

I made up two days ago.

- You're gonna have to explain.

- Parsley.- What is maître d' butter

in the first place?

- It's an old trickrestaurants used to do.

You don't see it anymore.

- Okay.

- But it's a flavor enhancer.

And so the maître d' atthe front of the house,

the guy serving youwould make up this butter

and as a final finish for a steak

would add maître d' butter.

It's lemon juice,parsley, softened butter.

You whip all that together.

A little salt, a little pepper,

and then you roll it up in cellophane.

- [Announcer] To see Gordon's full recipe

Do it today, as we celebrateand honor dads this weekend.

And that is our Q & A topic for today.

Gordon, I learned a lot about you

and what your dad has taught you

and the things, some of thethings that you've learned.

- You makin' the steak for your dad?

- Um, maybe. (chuckling)

- That would be no.

That's Ashley speak for no.

- Maybe, no I might, you know?

I, I just feel like mydad's a really good cook

so I feel like--

- She's intimidated.

- I am, I'm slightly intimidated.

- And she doesn't want to--

- But we'll see.

- Take it from me, he will love it.

- Okay, all right.

I need to be more like, more courageous.

- Yes, step out boldly.

- Yes, amen, I will.

All right, well let's, we'regonna talk about fatherhood.

- It's an easy recipe.

- It is an easy recipe.

- And it was good.

- Yeah.- Right?

- I heard Terry madeit and she enjoyed it.

- Yeah.- So, that gives me

some courage.

- Yeah.

- Women can grill, women can cook a steak.

- It's a cast iron pan, you can do that.

(Ashley laughing)

You can do it.

- Yes, that's true.

Okay, fatherhood.

What have you learned through being a dad

about our heavenly Father?

'Cause I've heard a lotta times that

once you have your own child,whether you're a mother

or a father, you learn alot about God's love for us.

- You finally understandunconditional love,

that until you have children,

you're kind of on the outside of that.

I mean, you can receive it from God

but you coming to the pointof giving it, you know,

maybe in romantic relationships,husbands and wives,

you can find it, but that just,there is nothing that infant

can ever do for you. (chuckling)

There's no transaction, here.

It's not reciprocal.

But at the same time you realize

I will die for that child.

And there is nothing I will withhold.

I will do anything.

You know, I'm not goingto give 'em a Ferrari

when they're 16. (chuckling)

You know, I wanna raise 'em smart

and I wanna be a good father.

And you're not, I'm notgonna have spoiled children.

But at the same time, thereis nothing you won't do.

And I, boy I learned that the first time

I looked in Evelyn's eyes.

It was, "Wow, I am all-in."

This is, you know, you and me.

- That's awesome, I love that.

Well, for those who, okay yeah,

that's you and Evelyn,that's literally adorable.

- [Gordon] That's my oldest.

She just got married, I just gave her

away which was, "Ahh!"

- [Ashley] Oh, my gosh.

- [Gordon] But anyway.

- Happy moments, okay so I'm sure

a lot of people are watching though,

and sometimes Father'sDay may be a trigger

for people because theydidn't have a dad like you

who spoke those kind words or--

- Well, I'm not the perfect dad.

I don't think any dad is the perfect dad.

There's no manual for it.

The only perfect oneis our heavenly Father.

And sometimes when youhave issues with dad

either being absent or being overbearing

or not always being therefor you, all of these things.

I encourage people, youcan get re-parented.

You can go to yourheavenly Father and ask Him

to heal that wound andto come in and show you

how you can forgive, 'cause that's part

of this transaction here,

you have to forgive your earthly father.

How you can forgive but also,

and this will really help ya to say,

"God, I need you to show how

"You were loving me during that moment."

And He will.

He wants to reveal Himself to you.

He doesn't want to be distant.

He wants to be that close Father with all

of your emotional needs,whatever they are.

So go into your prayercloset, it's a great one.

Get re-parented by a heavenly Father.
