Cast Iron Skillet Steaks with Cowboy Butter
Ingredients:
2 steaks (Ribeye, Sirloin or Filet Mignon) cut 1 ¼” thick
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees on Bake (or Roast setting if your oven has it). Let steaks come to room
temperature. Mix all seasonings together and gently rub into steaks, coating both sides. Heat up a cast
iron {or other oven-safe) skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil, and once it begins to smoke, add
steaks. Allow steaks to sear for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Do not pick up steaks, or move them around
in the pan during the searing process. Once both sides have been seared, place into the oven for about
6-7 minutes to finish cooking. This timing is for a medium-rare steak. If you like your steak more well
done, add 3-4 minutes of cooking time.
Cowboy Butter
Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon shallot, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper (like it hot? use both!)
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 teaspoon thyme, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Mix all ingredients together and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Scoop out 1-2
tablespoons and top steaks before devouring!
