Grilling Recipe for the Perfect Cowboy Ribeye:

Ingredients:
- 1 Cowboy Ribeye Steak (2-2.5 lbs)
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 lemon, halved (optional for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak: Take the Cowboy Ribeye out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes to an hour. Pat it dry with a paper towel, then generously season with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Preheat the Grill: set your grill up for two-zone cooking: one side for direct high heat (around 450°F) and the other side for indirect medium heat.

3. Searing the Ribeye: Rub olive oil over the steak, then place it directly over the high heat zone. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.

4. Indirect Cooking: Move the steak to the cooler side of the grill, add the thyme and garlic on top of the steak, and cook with the lid closed for about 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium). Flip the steak halfway through the cooking time.

5. Butter Finish: In the final few minutes, add a tablespoon of butter on top of the steak and let it melt, basting the steak in rich flavor.

6. Rest & Serve: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain all those delicious juices. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top for a touch of brightness, carve it up, and enjoy!

This Cowboy Ribeye, with its perfect char and juicy interior, will leave you with a steakhouse-worthy experience at home. Serve it with roasted vegetables or a classic baked potato for the ultimate feast.
