Instructions
Creating the Sizzling Cowboy Butter Steak is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve mouthwatering results:
1. Prepare the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels to help achieve a good sear.
2. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. This step enhances the flavors.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat over high heat until it’s very hot.
4. Sear the Steaks: Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Once the oil shimmers, place the steaks in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your desired doneness.
5. Prepare Cowboy Butter: While the steaks cook, combine the butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. This mixture will enhance the flavor when melted over the steak.
6. Add the Butter: As the steaks approach your preferred doneness, add the cowboy butter directly to the pan. Spoon the bubbling butter over the steaks to baste them.
7. Check the Temperature: Use an instant-read thermometer to check the steak’s internal temperature. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
8. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
9. Plate the Dish: Slice the steaks against the grain for best tenderness, and place them on serving plates.
10. Serve with Lemon: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the steaks and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Each step is designed to ensure you create the best Sizzling Cowboy Butter Steak effortlessly.
