It’s really hard to know where to even begin to explain just how delicious these steaks and this sauce is.

But…does this give you an idea? Just look at that steak and chimichurri sauce.

Now, if this doesn’t get you excited, then watch us show you how easy it is to make the best steak in town, with some amazing fresh Best Chimichurri Sauce, too.

Sit back and get ready to salivate as we make this incredible Grilled Cowboy Ribeye Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce!

 

GRILLED COWBOY RIBEYE STEAKS ARE MARBLED AND EXTRA FLAVORFUL

A good ribeye steak is about as good as they come in our book. They are well marbled cuts of meat, which means as they cook, that marbling begins to melt and becomes so tender and juicy with every bite.

Seek about a nice 1-inch to 1 & ½-inch thick ribeye (bone-in) from your local meat market or butcher.

Curious as to what makes the ribeye one of the juiciest and most flavorful cuts of meats available? Read this interesting article About the Ribeye Steak to learn more.

It is the marbling in this ribeye steak that makes it so juicy

And you may be wondering: “Well, Cowboy, what makes this a Cowboy Ribeye Steak?”

Well, let me tell you, my ancho chili rub that gets applied to this steak before it hits the hot grill is what bring out that amazing “Yee Haw” moment when you take your first bite.

It’s got just enough kick to make you tip your hat and say, “Don’t mind if I do…”

This is rub is the real deal.

Then on to the grill this Cowboy Ribeye Steak goes.

The smell is immediate. The sizzle. The juicy anticipation is not easy. That’s when you quickly make the incredible Best Chimichurri Sauce.

Oh, this is going to be good.

GRILLED COWBOY RIBEYE STEAKS ARE BIG ON FLAVOR AND TENDER IN TASTE

As soon as the steaks hit the hot grill, the rub begins to caramelize and form a bit of a crust, which perfectly seals in the most juicy of juicy steaks.

We’re not kidding around with this Grilled Cowboy Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce. And you serve these to a hungry group of cowboys and cowgirls, be prepared for lots of whooping and hollering.

They’re that good.

The steak and the chimichurri sauce are a perfect match for each other.

Y’all…that’s a heck of a steak.

      Hi Brenna! Slow cooker corn on the cob is easy, so delicious, and would compliment this amazing meal wonderfully! Or buttery mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, or Dauphinoise potatoes! Hope this helps! Let us know how it all turns out!! xoxo Kris & Wesley

    This looks and sounds incredible! I love that you make your own spice blend and chimichurri, too. Nothing can beat homemade blends and sauces. The flavors end up being so so fresh and there’s no looking back! This is the perfect dinner for dining al fresco this summer with a glass of your fave beer or wine 🙂

    We love our steaks and your cowboy steak is exactly the type we’d choose. Hubby swears meat on the bone. We always pick up our pork chops on the bone too. The sauce looks and sounds amazing. It would be great to have on hand with any meat. I will pick up some chilis for the chimichurri sauce. Will be trying out your rub too. We’ve got several rub recipes and love trying new ones.

    My poor husband almost never gets a nice, big steak, because I never cook them! But we visited friends in Wyoming awhile back, and they served him the biggest, juiciest steak I’ve ever seen. It kind of looked like this one! 😀 This looks so easy and delicious- I should make it for him!!

    The marble on that steak is amazing! I’m practically drooling at my computer. I’ll have to check out the rub – I love a good kick when it comes to grilling. This will be on my BBQ once summer hits.
