Ingredients
  

For the Cowboy Steak

  • 1 piece Cowboy ribeye steak, bone-in At least 2 inches thick
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter For cowboy butter enhancement
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

For Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp Coarse kosher salt For seasoning the steak
  • 1 tbsp Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Remove the cowboy steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Season the steak with coarse kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. For best results, salt 40 minutes before cooking.
  • In a bowl, mix the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to create cowboy butter. Chill until ready to use.

Cooking

  • Preheat your grill to a high heat (450-500°F) for searing the steak.
  • Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side over direct heat until a golden-brown crust forms.
  • Move the steak to indirect heat and continue cooking until it reaches your desired internal temperature, about 5-6 minutes longer for a 2-inch thick steak.
  • Remove the steak from the heat, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  • Slice the steak and serve with a dollop of cowboy butter on top.

Notes

Store raw steak in the coldest part of the fridge for 3-5 days wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. For longer storage, freeze for up to 6 months.
