Cowboy steak is a showstopper that will have your family wondering when you became an amazing chef. This hearty, bone-in ribeye is perfect for a restaurant-quality meal without much fuss. Get ready to impress with this simple recipe that requires almost no prep time.
Season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Place on a wire rack set on top of a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate overnight or for up to three days.
Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for an hour. Brush with avocado oil.
Preheat one side of your grill or griddle to medium-high heat. Turn the other side to low. (You’ll want to build a two-zone indirect fire for a charcoal grill.)
Cook the meat on the cooler side of your grill or well-oiled griddle until it reaches 115°F for medium rare or 125°F for medium. Flip every 5 minutes. Depending on the size and thickness of the steak, this should take between 15 and 30 minutes.
Sear the steak on the hot side until the crust is lightly charred and the internal temperature reaches 125°F, flipping every minute.
Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
