These Cowboy Butter Beef & Potato Skewers are a fun twist on classic meat and potatoes, stacking thinly sliced russet potatoes with seasoned ground beef before cooking everything low and slow over the fire. Once the potatoes are tender and the beef is cooked through, the skewers get basted in a garlicky, spicy homemade cowboy butter and finished directly over the coals until crispy and caramelized. They’re hearty, loaded with flavor, and an easy way to turn a simple beef-and-potatoes dinner into something made for the grill.
Cowboy Butter Beef and Potato Skewers
These Cowboy Butter Beef & Potato Skewers are a fun twist on classic meat and potatoes, stacking thinly sliced russet potatoes with seasoned ground beef before cooking everything low and slow over the fire.
Ingredients
Beef & Potatoes:
- 2 lbs Ground Beef 85/15
- 4-5 Russet Potatoes
- 3 tbsp Cowboy Butter Rub
- ½ cup Finely Diced Onions
- ½ cup Shredded Cheese
- ¼ cup Sliced Scallions
- ¼ cup Chopped Parsley
- 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
- Oil as needed
Cowboy Butter:
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 5 Garlic Cloves minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tbsp Chopped Parsley
- 1 tbsp Hot Sauce
- 2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
- 1 Lemon juiced
- Kosher Salt to taste
Instructions
Cowboy Butter:
- Add a skillet over medium heat with your butter and garlic. Let melt, then stir in the Dijon, parsley, chives, hot sauce, red chili flakes, lemon juice and salt. Mix together, pull off and keep warm.
Beef & Potato Skewers:
- Light a batch of charcoal and preheat your grill for two-zone cooking at medium-low heat (about 325F).
- Thinly slice your potatoes (about 1/4″) using a mandoline. Season the ground beef with cowboy butter, onions, garlic and jalapenos.
- Layer a potato slice with a thin layer of ground beef, then repeat until you have a 5-6″ stack. Push a large skewer through the center and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Add the skewers over the indirect side of the coals and cook for 25-30 minutes, rotating occasionally. Once the potatoes are tender and the beef reaches 160F internal, generously baste with the cowboy butter.
- Move the skewers directly over the hot coals and sear for 1-2 minutes per side while continuing to baste until crispy and caramelized. Pull off, finish with more cowboy butter and enjoy!
