Beef - Cowboy Steak (Short Bone-in Ribeye) 16oz Prime Grade 40+ Days Aged Ontario Grass-Fed

Looking for a rustic Western-style steak? Bone-in rib steak or a cowboy steak is a generous cut of meat that is typically taken from the rib section of a cow and includes the rib bone, which adds to its visual appeal and enhances its flavor.

A properly cooked cowboy steak is a true carnivore's delight, with a robust and bold flavor profile. It has a rich, beefy taste that is intense and deeply satisfying, with a good amount of marbling throughout the meat that adds to its succulence and tenderness. The marbling, which refers to the fine streaks of intramuscular fat, melts during cooking and infuses the steak with flavor, resulting in a juicy and flavorful bite.

The texture of a cowboy steak is also noteworthy. It is typically cooked to medium-rare or medium, allowing the meat to retain its natural tenderness and juiciness. The exterior of the steak is often seared to develop a caramelized crust, which adds a deliciously smoky and savory flavor to the meat. The interior of the steak is usually buttery and melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a slight chew that adds to the overall enjoyment of the steak.

A cowboy steak is often seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and perhaps some herbs or spices to enhance its natural flavors. Some chefs may also use a dry rub or a marinade to add additional depth and complexity to the steak's taste profile. It is typically served as a centerpiece dish, and its impressive size and presentation make it a show-stopper at any gathering or special occasion.
