Ingredients

Steak:

  • 4 Favorite Steaks Ribeye or NY Strip ideally
  • ½ cup Cowboy Butter Rub or Favorite Steak Rub
  • Melted Butter as needed

Bourbon Butter:

  • ½ cup Melted Butter
  • 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Red Chili Flakes
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Parsley
  • 1.5 oz Pendleton Bourbon
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Kosher Salt to taste

Serving:

  • French Fries
  • Blue Cheese Salad

Instructions

  • Slather your steak in oil and season generously with your favorite steak rub.
  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat (around 375F) for direct grilling.
  • Add a cast iron skillet with all the ingredients for the bourbon butter to melt.
  • Next, add the steaks to the grill and cook until 120F internal (about 10-18 minutes). With a basting brush, baste the outside of the steaks with the bourbon butter as you flip them to get a nice crust. Once the steaks are done, pull off and let rest.
  • Finally, slice the steaks up and top with any more bourbon butter. Serve with fries on the side and enjoy!
