A bold, juicy cowboy steak cooked sous vide and finished with sizzling garlic cowboy butter for a restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cowboy steak, 2 inches thick

Salt

Black pepper

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Olive oil

Butter (for searing and cowboy butter)

Optional: Fresh rosemary for sous vide bag

Instructions

1. Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

2. Vacuum seal the steak in a bag. Add rosemary if desired.

3. Set sous vide to 129°F for medium-rare. Cook for 2 hours.

4. Remove steak, pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

5. Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high with 2 Tbsp olive oil.

6. Sear steak for 30 seconds per side. Add 1 Tbsp butter and sear another 30 seconds per side.

7. Sear the edges using tongs to render the fat.

8. Remove from heat. Let rest for 10 minutes.

9. Slice against the grain and serve with cowboy butter.

Notes

Use a grill press for an even crust during the sear.

Letting the steak rest locks in juices—don’t skip it.

Cowboy butter can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
