Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 2-pound bone-in rib-eye steak, about 2 1/2 inches thick, frenched
Coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Safflower oil or other neutral-tasting oil

Steps:

  • Let steak rest at room temperature about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat a grill pan to medium-high. (For cooking steak entirely on a gas grill, see step 3.)
  • Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Cover exposed bone with foil to prevent browning. Drizzle safflower oil over steak, rub to coat, and place on grill pan. Grill for about 5 minutes, rotating steak 45 degrees halfway through for crosshatch marks; flip and repeat. Transfer steak to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and finish cooking in oven until steak reaches 125 degrees for medium-rare, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove steak from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Alternately, if using a gas grill: Let steak rest at room temperature about 1 hour. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Heat grill to medium-high. When grill is hot, scrub with grill brush and sweep lightly with oil. Season both sides of steak generously with salt and pepper, cover exposed bone with foil to prevent browning, and place on grill. Cover, and grill over direct heat about 5 minutes, rotating steak 45 degrees halfway through for crosshatch marks; flip and repeat. Move to indirect heat and continue cooking 6 to 7 minutes more per side, flipping once, for medium-rare (125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

COWBOY STEAK

Streaked with gorgeous marbling, as juicy as they come, and equipped with a bone that translates into big steak flavor, these Bone-In Ribeyes (a.k.a. Cowboy Steaks) are almost as impressive before they hit the grill as they are coming off of it.

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 tablespoons Kosher salt
2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
4 cowboy cut ribeyes or bone-in ribeyes ((just over 1" thick))

Steps:

  • Set the steaks out at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  • Prepare a gas or charcoal grill and bring to medium-high heat. To test whether or not your grill is hot enough, (carefully) hold your hand about 6" from the grate. It should be so hot, that you have to move it by the count of 3.
  • While you're waiting on the grill to come to temperature, season the steaks liberally with the salt and pepper on both sides and all around the edges. Pat to adhere.
  • Add the steaks to the hot grill. For medium-rare, cook over direct heat for 4 minutes on each side, turning only once throughout the entire cooking process. Watch for flare-ups. Your goal internal temperature is 130°.
  • Set the steaks aside and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, serve and enjoy.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 32-ounce cowboy-cut rib eye, center-cut, dry-aged and 2 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon finely minced shallots
1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar
3 cups watercress
10 fresh tarragon leaves
1 red radish, thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
High-quality aged balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for finishing

Steps:

  • The night before, lightly sprinkle the steak on both sides with salt. Allow to sit, uncovered, in your fridge overnight.
  • One hour prior to cooking, remove the steak from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. It is important to use more seasoning than needed, as the steak is very thick and much of the seasoning will fall off during the cooking process.
  • Grill the steak on one flat side, 5 to 8 minutes. Stand the steak up on one short side and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn over and grill on the other flat side, 5 to 8 minutes. Stand it up on the opposite short side and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the steak to the cooler part of the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F for medium rare. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest until the internal temperature registers 130 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
  • Measure out 1 tablespoon of the steak juices that have settled onto the plate and put in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in the mustard, shallots and vinegar. Toss the watercress in the dressing, along with the tarragon leaves and radish slices.
  • Place the salad on a plate with the steak. Drizzle the steak with the olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar. Finish with the sea salt.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch-thick boneless rib-eye or New York strip steaks (about 12 ounces each) or filets mignons (8 to 10 ounces each), trimmed
2 tablespoons canola or extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
  • Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Steak: Select a high-quality cowboy steak with good marbling for a juicy and flavorful result.
  • Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture.
  • Season Liberally: Generously season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Grill Over High Heat: Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F) before cooking the steak. This will help sear the steak and create a nice crust.
  • Use a Reverse Sear: For a more evenly cooked steak, consider using a reverse sear method. Grill the steak over indirect heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 115°F, then sear it over high heat to finish.
  • Monitor the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to accurately monitor the internal temperature of the steak. This will ensure that it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the Steak Rest: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.

Conclusion:

By following these tips and instructions, you can grill a perfect cowboy steak that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to your desired doneness. Whether you prefer a classic grilled steak or a more adventurous reverse sear method, experimenting with different seasonings and techniques will help you create a delicious and memorable meal. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy a mouthwatering cowboy steak that will satisfy your cravings.
