Instructions
Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill or skillet over high heat.
Season the steak generously with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
Drizzle the steak with olive oil to help with searing.
Grill or sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for a good crust.
Move the steak to indirect heat or a lower-temperature oven (275°F) to finish cooking until it reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare).
If desired, baste with butter, garlic, and rosemary for extra flavor.
Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes, tented with foil.
Slice against the grain and serve.
Notes
For a full meal, pair cowboy steak with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Don't forget to let it rest before slicing!
