Description
A bold and flavorful Sizzling Cowboy Butter Steak topped with creamy cowboy butter, perfect for a heartwarming dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 stick of butter, mostly melted
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 lemon, for zest and juice
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne or red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon of chives or green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, minced
- Salt and pepper, adjusted to taste
- Optional: rosemary sprig and smashed garlic for cast iron preparation
Instructions
- Let the steak reach room temperature and pat it dry; season generously with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until sizzling hot.
- Add a splash of avocado oil to the skillet, then place the seasoned steak in, listening for that satisfying sizzle.
- Sear one side for about 4-5 minutes, then flip the steak, adding the mostly melted butter, minced garlic, and herbs.
- Continuously spoon the melted butter mixture over the steak as it cooks.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for medium-rare (130°F).
- Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the softened butter with parsley, green onions, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, zest, and spices until creamy.
- Slice the steak against the grain and top each slice with a dollop of cowboy butter.
Notes
To enhance flavors, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried ones. Letting the steak rest ensures it retains its juices.
