Ingredients
  

For the steak
  • 2 pieces ribeye steaks Marbling adds rich flavor and tenderness; substitute with sirloin or New York strip if preferred.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Essential for creaminess; consider half plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced A must for that aromatic punch; can substitute with garlic powder if necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped Adds freshness; substitute with fresh cilantro for a different twist.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped Enhances the flavor; green onions can be a quick alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Provides umami; tamari or coconut aminos can be used for gluten-free options.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Infuses a smoky note; regular paprika works fine too.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Essential for seasoning to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Cooking
  1. Grill or sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  2. While the steaks are cooking, mix together the softened butter, garlic, parsley, chives, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
  3. Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
  4. Top each steak with a generous dollop of the Cowboy Butter and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t skip letting the steaks rest post-cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. Be careful not to overcook—steak can go from tender to tough quickly. Experiment with different herbs for the Cowboy Butter based on your preferences. For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the butter.
