Ingredients
Cowboy Christmas Ribeye Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (The Stetson)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
How to Cook Cowboy Christmas Ribeye:
- Take your ribeye steaks out of the fridge and let them rest for about 20 minutes. A good steak needs to warm up to room temperature—just like a cowboy getting ready for the day.
- Pat the steaks dry and rub them with olive oil. Mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then coat each side generously. If you’re feeling fancy, toss on a sprig of rosemary.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot—don’t skimp on the heat; you want a proper sear. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt before laying those ribeyes in the pan.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare. Adjust the time if you like it more done (but we won’t judge). Add the remaining butter to the pan and baste the steaks during the last minute of cooking.
- Remove the ribeyes from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite ranch sides—rosemary potatoes and charred green beans are our go-to.
