A thick-cut Snake River Farms cowboy ribeye simply seasoned with salt and pepper, then finished with an herbaceous chili oil inspired by the one my grandfather has been making for years. Rich, deeply marbled beef with a bold, savory finish that feels perfect for slowing down and spending Father’s Day at home.

Ingredients

Cowboy Ribeye

1 Snake River Farms Cowboy Ribeye
1 teaspoon of salt per pound of steak
Pepper, as needed

Italian Chili Oil

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, grated
2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
3 to 4 chili peppers, finely chopped
Small handful of basil, torn
Salt, to taste

Tuscan White Bean Salad

2 (15oz) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely diced
Handful of fresh basil, torn
Salt & Pepper, to taste
White balsamic, to taste
EVOO, to taste

Directions

Optional, but dry brine the steak overnight. Pat your steak completely dry, then season the steak with 1 tsp of salt per pound. Place the seasoned steak on a sheet pan with a wire rack, and transfer to the fridge for 12-24 hours.
In a small bowl, combine all the Italian Chili Oil ingredients. Mix until fully combined, then taste and adjust salt and EVOO as needed. Set aside at room temperature.
Remove the steak from the fridge 1 hour before cooking, and leave it uncovered on the counter.
While the steak is coming to room temp, mix all the Tuscan White Bean Salad ingredients together in a bowl. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed, then set aside in the fridge.
Set up your grill with two zones, one zone should be ripping hot while the other zone should be off/cool. Then let the grates fully heat for at least 15 minutes.
While the grill is heating up, season the steak. If you dry brined the steak, then only season the steak with pepper. If you did not dry brine the steak, then season it with salt & pepper.
Sear over direct heat for 3-4 minutes and develop a nice crust. Flip, and continue searing for another 3-4 minutes. Render the fat cap, then move the steak to the indirect temp. Close the lid and cook until the internal temp is 125ºF
Immediately after pulling the steak from the grill, spoon the Italian Herb Oil over the steak, and allow the steak to rest for 12 to 15 minutes.
Slice the steak against the grain and finish with more herb oil. Serve with the Tuscan White Bean Salad and enjoy!
