Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5-inch thick Ribeye or New York strip steak
- High-smoke point oil (avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or refined sunflower oil)
- Coarse sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Unsalted butter
- Fresh garlic, finely minced
- Fresh parsley
- Chives
- Thyme
- Dijon mustard
- Red pepper flakes
- Sweet or smoked paprika
- Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Take the steaks out of the fridge at least 30-60 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry and season with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Melt unsalted butter over low heat or in the microwave. Stir in garlic, parsley, chives, thyme, Dijon mustard, red pepper flakes, paprika, and lemon juice. Keep warm.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat and add your high-smoke point oil. Ensure the pan is smoking hot.
- Place the seasoned steaks into the hot pan. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
- Reduce heat to medium and add a tablespoon or two of the warm Cowboy Butter to the pan. Baste the steak for another 2-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
- Once rested, slice your steak against the grain and spoon any remaining Cowboy Butter over the sliced steak. Serve immediately.
