Cowboy Ribeyes that is. Wow! After seeing them on Iron Chef and offered as the most expensive steak on the menu at upscale restaurants, I finally had one last year on my birthday.
Downtown Produce, a wholesale/retail store had them on sale for $4.99 a pound.
Since that day the Cowboy Ribeye has been my favorite steak. Ribeye’s are arguably the most flavorful of all steaks. They are nicely marbled which makes them tender, moist and packed with flavor.
Cowboy Ribeyes are double cut and bone-in. The bone gives them even more flavor!
For Date Night I grilled a two pounder. I marinaded it in a bottled honey terriyaki sauce. I fired up my gas grill with all four burners on high. When it got to 600 degrees I tossed the steak on for five minutes per side to sear it and give it nice grill marks. Then I turned the far left burner to low and moved it to that burner for 15 minutes. Be sure and keep the grill lid closed so it almost bakes the steak. That is the only way you’ll get this thick of a steak done.
I served it up on a cast iron fajita platter and we sliced it as we went. Valerie made smashed potatoes and that was it.
Cowboy Ribeye – It’s Fun, Fancy, but Easy!
