1
Season the Steaks
Pat the cowboy ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear. Generously season both sides of each steak with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
2
Let the Steaks Rest
Allow the seasoned steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps to ensure even cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill to high heat or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet if using.
4
Sear the Steaks
Once hot, place the steaks on the grill or skillet. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to get a good crust.
5
Flip the Steaks
Flip the steaks and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time to your desired doneness. If using, add fresh rosemary and butter on top of the steaks while they cook.
6
Check Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C).

7
Rest the Steaks
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
8
Serve
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your Cowboy Ribeye with your choice of sides.
