The USDA Prime cowboy steak is a giant of a ribeye that will make you feel like you're home on the range. We've left the rib bone in place so this bone-in ribeye steak will look monumental on the grill or on a serving platter. The cowboy steak is a big ribeye with a split personality - serve as a steak or roast for a prime rib for two.
Here’s a spectacular steak that will steal the show at your next backyard barbecue! Our cowboy steak is a bone-in prime ribeye large enough to serve two. This rib steak is graded USDA Prime so it features the highest level of marbling available for rich, full-bodied flavor. The rib bone is “frenched” which makes for a spectacular plate appearance. Whether it's a grilled steak for two or any other special occasion, this plus-sized Prime steak is perfect for anytime you want to go big. Treat yourself and purchase Prime steaks online.
This steak is a natural product and the weight can vary by +/- .25 pounds.
"...Hands down, Double R Ranch is the best beef in the country." ~ Eric Hellner, Executive Chef, The Metropolitan Grill, Seattle, WA
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
The cowboy steak is cut from the rib primal which covers ribs six through twelve and is located between the chuck and loin primals. A full ribeye, like the cowboy steak, has three major muscles. The longissimus dorsi, or large center eye, the complexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on where the steak is cut, and the spinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribeye or deckle. The cap is universally known as the single most flavorful and tender cut. The muscles of the ribeye are held together with tender sinew with large swaths of rich fat between them.
Ribeye steaks and prime rib both come from the exact same subprimal. Think of the cowboy cut as either a very large steak or a smaller prime rib - perfect as a holiday meal for two.
