Something like a Schwalbe Marathon (Plus) will handle gravel roads, fire tracks etc and be great on the commute too.
More tread = more capable offroad but slower running and faster wearing on road.
Maybe something with a low profile tread like a Conti RaceKing if you want a bit more grip off road without feeling like you're dragging a corpse on the road.
My Surly 1x1 had a Conti Raceking on the front and a Marathon on the rear for most of the summer and was used for commuting, forestry paths, bits of the west highland way etc.
