Description
Deliciously seared steaks topped with homemade cowboy butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces Steaks (Ribeye, Sirloin, or New York Strip, about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Or to taste)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (1 stick, softened)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (Optional for some heat)
Instructions
- Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels for a nice sear.
- Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
- Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is achieved (135°F for medium-rare).
- In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Blend well.
- When the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Top each steak with a generous spoonful of the cowboy butter while still warm.
- Slice the steaks against the grain, serve warm, and enjoy.
Notes
- Choose high-quality cuts for best flavor.
