Ingredients

4 Ribeye steaks (cut the same size)
2 tablespoons BBQ steak seasoning blend
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon spicy brown deli mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon crunchy chili flakes ( if desired)
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme), finely chopped
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat BBQ grill to medium-high heat. In a small cast iron pan, add butter, 1 tablespoon BBQ spice, garlic, mustard, paprika, lemon juice, chili flakes and herbs. Place the pan in a lower heat area of the grill. The butter mixture needs to melt, but not be cooked at high heat. Stir the cowboy butter occasionally to make sure ingredients are mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Keep warm.

Season the ribeye steaks evenly on both sides with the remaining tablespoon of the BBQ seasoning blend. Carefully place seasoned steaks on the hot part of the pre-heated BBQ grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on thickness. Use an internal read thermometer to accurately determine the doneness of each steak. For medium-rare, take steaks off at 130 degrees. The steaks can be brushed with cowboy butter on cooked side once they are turned over or removed from grill. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes and serve with cowboy butter on the side for dipping. Garnish with Fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme.
