Cowboy Butter Steak
A heart-healthy, high-protein ribeye steak topped with creamy Cowboy Butter, perfect for meal prep and family dinners.
Ingredients
For the Cowboy Butter
- 1 stick Unsalted butter Softened for ease of mixing
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic Minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Adds umami flavor
- 1 pinch Salt To taste
- 1 pinch Pepper To taste
For the Steak
- 4 pieces Ribeye steak Room temperature before cooking
- 1 tbsp Oil Optional, for cooking
Instructions
Preparation
- Allow ribeye steak to reach room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Mix well until garlic and parsley are evenly distributed in the butter.
- Shape butter into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate to firm up.
Cooking
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes.
- Season both sides of the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Add a little oil if desired and place the steak in the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes on one side.
- Flip the steak and continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes for medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C).
- Remove from skillet and let the steak rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Serving
- Slice ribeye steak against the grain.
- Top each slice with a pat of the homemade Cowboy Butter and serve immediately.
Notes
For best flavor, use high-quality grass-fed ribeye. Letting the steak rest after cooking enhances juiciness. For a spicier variant, add crushed red pepper flakes to the Cowboy Butter.
