Where It Comes From and How It’s Cut

The cowboy cut steak, also known as a bone-in ribeye, is taken from the rib section of the cow. This part is prized for its exceptional marbling and tenderness, which contribute to the steak’s rich flavor profile. The cut is made by carefully removing the meat from the rib bone, leaving a long section of bone attached. This not only enhances the steak’s appearance but also helps in retaining its juiciness during cooking.

Cooking Tips

To get the most out of your Beef Cowboy Steak, follow these cooking tips:

1. Turning the Steaks: Turn the steak only once during cooking to ensure even searing and prevent overcooking.
2. Room Temperature: Allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in achieving even cooking throughout the steak.
3. Medium High Heat: Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. A hot surface is essential for creating a perfect sear.
4. Meat Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, ensuring the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.

Preparation Tips

Preparation:

1. Seasoning: Generously season the steak with salt, pepper, and any other preferred spices or herbs.
2. Preheating: Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. A hot surface is crucial for developing a nice crust on the steak.
3. Searing: Place the steak on the hot surface and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side to develop a beautiful crust.
4. Cooking: Continue to cook the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-135°F for a medium rare finish. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
5. Resting: Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender, juicy steak.

Cooking Methods

1. Grilling: Ideal for achieving a smoky flavor and beautiful grill marks. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side. Continue to cook until the desired internal temperature is reached.
2. Pan-Searing: Perfect for developing a caramelized crust in a cast iron skillet. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steak, and then finish cooking in the oven if necessary.
