How to make Grilled Cowboy Ribeye Steaks
Timing details
Total time as listed by the original author. Review the method for additional preparation and waiting.
- 01
Remove steaks from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for at least an hour before seasoning. Typically, we like a bit of garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper on steak, but we have found that simpler is better with the cowboy ribeye. Season both sides liberally with sea salt and black pepper. Make sure to wrap the bones with foil so that they don’t burn. Let the steaks stand another 30-40 minutes.

Meanwhile, get your grill ready. Add some charcoal to a section of grill, which is what we do, or use a charcoal grill. Preheat grill to hot, about 500 to 600 degrees. These are very thick steaks. You want to make sure that you don’t end up with a charred exterior and a cold, raw middle. Place steaks on preheated grill directly above the charcoal and sear for about 7 to 9 minutes per side, depending on your heat. When your steaks are beautifully browned to perfection, move them off of direct heat and close the grill. Let cook, checking frequently, for about 10 to 15 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches about 130 degrees for medium rare or 150 degrees for medium. Remember, all grills are different. Cooking times and temperatures may vary. Remove from heat and let rest for about 10 minutes so that the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Cut and enjoy!
Recipe questions
How long do you cook cowboy steak on the grill?
The original recipe suggests searing for 7 to 9 minutes per side, followed by 10 to 15 minutes per side over indirect heat, then resting for about 10 minutes. These are estimates: steak thickness and grill heat change the timing. Check the centre with a meat thermometer rather than relying on time alone.
How do you cook a cowboy ribeye steak without burning the outside?
Use two heat zones. Sear the steak over direct heat, then move it to the cooler side and close the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat. This is the method used in this recipe.
