Barbecued Cowboy Steaks Food

GRILLED COWBOY RIB EYE WITH WATERCRESS SALAD

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.

GRILLED COWBOY STEAK

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 STEAKS WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine chile powder, cayenne, cumin and oregano with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Rub the steaks all over with the spice mixture and place on a platter until they come to room temperature.
• Light the grill or set oven to broil and place rack on top level. Lightly oil a broiling pan and place in oven to heat. Brush the onions with oil and season with salt and black pepper. If using a grill put onions over the hot fire until charred, about 8 minutes. If broiling, set aside.
• Grill the steaks over the hot fire for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare or broil the steaks 6-7 minutes a side on heated broiling pan along with oil coated onions. Place steaks on plates and top with the onions. Serve Yucca Fries (Yucca Fries (Yuca) Recipe #153368) on the side.

COWBOY STEAK

• Dredge onions in flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
• Heat oil in a large heavy frying pan (cast iron works well) and heat to 360 degress Fahrenheit.
• Add onions in batches, cooking until golden brown. BE CAREFUL. They cook fast (30 to 45 seconds).
• Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain off excess grease.
• Meanwhile, season steaks with salt and pepper and place in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
• Cook about 7 to 10 minutes per side, pouring off excess fat before turning.
• Finish cooking steaks on the grill (or skip the frying step and just grill steaks to desired doneness (10 minutes per side).

COWBOY STEAK

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.

GRILLED RIBEYE WITH COWBOY BUTTER

Steps:

• First, remove rib-eye steak from the fridge and let rest on the counter for about 1 hour before grilling.
• Once the steaks are at room temperature, preheat the grill to medium high, or about 500 degrees F. For most gas grills, it will take about 10 minutes to fully come up to temperature.
• Lightly brush both sides of the steaks with a little olive oil.
• Season steaks with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place the steaks on the grill. If you like, you can add a dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional).
• Then add 1 tablespoon of Cowboy Butter (or other compound butter).
• Sear the outside of the steak for about 90 seconds, then flip and repeat on the other side.
• Now, turn the grill down to medium heat.
• Cook to your desired temperature (see below for times and temps).
• Remove from the grill and add another thick pad of butter to the top.
• Use foil to tent the steaks and allow them to rest for at least 3 minutes, up to 10 minutes.

CAST-IRON COWBOY STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 400°F to 450°F (high) heat. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on grill, covered with grill lid, 15 minutes. Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over steak.
• Add oil to skillet. (Oil should smoke.) Using tongs, place steak in skillet, and cook on grill, without grill lid, 10 minutes or until dark brown and crusty. Turn steak on fatty edge in skillet, holding upright with tongs, and cook 2 minutes. Place steak, uncooked side down, in skillet. Cook on grill, covered with grill lid, 8 to 10 minutes or to desired degree of doneness. (We recommend an internal temperature of 120°F to 125°F for medium-rare; temperature will rise as steak rests.)
• Add butter, herbs, and garlic to side of skillet, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until butter foams. Tilt skillet slightly, and spoon butter mixture over steak 20 times (being careful not to splatter). Transfer steak, herbs, and garlic to a platter; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice against the grain.
