Cowboy Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Press the seasoning into the meat for better adherence.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it, until a nice crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak and add the garlic cloves, rosemary, and butter to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter and pan juices.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time as needed for desired doneness.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

8. 8

   Slice and Serve

   After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Cowboy Steak!
