Cowboy Coffee-Rubbed Steak

You don’t want to be home “at” the range to make this—cowboy steak is meant to be cooked over an open flame!

This is the hottest steak on the trail. Lobel’s of New York describe their bone-in ribeye as “serious business for the serious steak lover.” I agree 100%. When it’s time to really eat steak, this is the cut to buy.

More and more grocers carry bone-in ribeyes, but they’re not available everywhere. Hit the web and check out Lobel’s or Allen Brothers, both outstanding sources for great beef. Still, if they’re hard to come by, a boneless ribeye will work fine.

The important thing here is that you try this unique coffee rub. It gives the beef a deep, rich flavor which is quite intense.
