Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Steaks (Ribeye, Sirloin, or New York Strip), about 1 inch thick Choose high-quality cuts for best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Or to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Or to taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (1 stick, softened)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes Optional for some heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels for a nice sear.
  3. Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
  2. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is achieved (135°F for medium-rare).
Making Cowboy Butter
  1. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Blend well.
Serving
  1. When the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Top each steak with a generous spoonful of the cowboy butter while still warm.
  3. Slice the steaks against the grain, serve warm, and enjoy.

Notes

Let the steak rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze wrapped for up to 3 months. Reheat on low heat to avoid drying out.
