1 bone-in marbleized ribeye steak (2 to 3 inches thick)
Haddar Kosher Salt
freshly ground black pepper
Prepare the steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about three to four hours. This will help it cook more evenly.
Let the steak dry by placing on paper towels, flipping it every half hour to remove any excess moisture.
Generously season both sides with Haddar Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat the grill or pan: Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit). If using a cast-iron skillet, preheat it over medium-high heat until very hot.
Place the steak on the grill or in the hot skillet. Sear each side for about four to five minutes, or until a nice crust forms.
After searing, place the steak on a broiler pan in an oven heated to 220 to 230 degrees Fahrenheit before Shabbat starts. It should be perfectly medium by the time you serve it for the Friday night meal.
Remove it from the heat and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent the steak loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier steak.
After the steak has rested, using a sharp knife, slice the steak against the grain into thick slices. Serve the cowboy steak on a nice board, garnishing it with freshly grated horseradish zest and sprinkling it with Haddar kosher salt and black pepper for added flavor. Optionally, you can serve it with your favorite Old Williamsburg beef jerky on the side for a complementary touch.

How long in the oven for medium rare if serving right away and what should the temperature be?
Yussi suggests for a cowboy steak (bone-in ribeye, typically 2 inches thick), the ideal method for medium-rare when serving immediately is:
1. Oven Temperature: 250°F (120°C) for a slow, even cook before searing.
2. Cooking Time: About 40-50 minutes in the oven, or until the internal temperature reaches 115-120°F (46-49°C).
3. Searing: After resting for 5-10 minutes, sear in a hot cast iron pan or on a grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until the internal temp reaches 125-130°F (52-54°C) for medium-rare.
4. Rest Before Serving: Let it rest another 5-10 minutes to let the juices redistribute before slicing.
If you want a faster method, you can reverse sear at 275°F (135°C) for about 30-40 minutes but still follow the same temperature guidelines.
How long does the meat have to be on 220-230 degrees in the oven if im not doing it for shabbos?
This is what Yussi advises: 1. Preheat Your Oven. Set your oven to 375°F 2. Sear the Steak. Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add a small amount of oil. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, creating a nice crust. 3. Transfer to Oven. Place the skillet with the steak in the preheated oven. Use a meat thermometer to track internal temperature: Cook for 12–15 minutes for medium, depending on the steak’s thickness (usually 1.5 to 2 inches). Check at 140 4. Rest the Steak. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute and the temperature to settle at 145–155°F for medium.
yum looks so good!
