     Title: Pioneer Woman's Tender Cowboy Steak
Categories: Beef, Herbs
     Yield: 6 servings

MMMMM---------------------------STEAK--------------------------------
     2    Cowboy steaks (2 lb ea); 2"
          - to 2-1/2" thick
     2 ts Kosher salt
     1 ts Ground black pepper
     1 tb Vegetable oil (optional)

MMMMM-------------------RANCH COMPOUND BUTTER------------------------
   1/4 c  Unsalted butter; softened
 1 1/2 ts Ranch seasoning
 1 1/2 ts Fresh parsley; chopped

 Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and season all sides
 generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for
 30 minutes.

 Meanwhile, combine the softened butter, ranch seasoning and parsley
 in a small bowl until evenly mixed. Transfer the butter to a piece
 of plastic wrap and roll it into a small log. Refrigerate the
 compound butter for at least 30 minutes until firm.

 Set up your gas or charcoal grill with the coals or flames under
 one half of the cooking grates so there are two distinct cooking
 zones. Preheat to medium-high heat (about 425 F/218 C) for
 15 minutes, then place the steaks over direct heat (the side with
 the flame or coals). Sear for 3-5 minutes per side until deeply
 charred grill marks form.

 To cook steak in a skillet: Preheat the oven to 375 F. Meanwhile,
 heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on your
 stovetop until very hot. Next, coat the bottom of the skillet with
 1 tb of oil. Place one steak in the skillet and sear for 3 to 5
 minutes on each side until a deeply golden crust forms. Then, using
 a spoon, tilt the pan and remove some of the fat drippings;
 discard. Reduce the heat to medium and then turn the steak onto its
 side and sear the fat cap for 1 minute.

 Transfer the steaks to the indirect cooking zone of your grill (the
 side with no coals). Cover and cook for an additional 8 to 16
 minutes for a perfect medium rare steak. Remove promptly to a
 carving board.

 To cook steak in a skillet: Transfer the skillet to the oven and
 cook for 8-16 minutes, or until the internal temperature closest to
 the bone reaches 132 F (for medium rare). Remove promptly from the
 skillet and transfer to a carving board.

 Top steaks with a generous slice of ranch butter, cover, and let
 rest for 5 minutes. To serve, carve the steak off the bone and
 thinly slice it against the grain. Serve immediately.
