 Instructions for 18oz Bone in Ribeye

1. Remove 4 Cowboy Steaks from the cooler and generously season both sides with Salt and Pepper. Let stand 15-20 minutes at room temperature before cooking.

2. Place the Cowboy Steaks on the hottest part of the grill, which will help achieve a beautiful crust and more flavor. If flare ups occur, move it to the cool spot, then back on the flame when they die down. Always lift, don't slide your Steak.
