Cowboy Chop au Poivre
- 2 pounds Cowboy Chop (mine Was From Double R Ranch), Or A Bone-in Ribeye Cut About 2 Inches Thick
- 3 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Black Peppercorns, Cracked To A Medium Consistency
- 13 cups Honey Bourbon
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Beef Base (I Used Better Than Bouillon)
- Season all sides of the steak with about two teaspoons of salt.
- Lightly oil all sides of the steak and coat each side and the edges with as much of the pepper as will adhere.
- Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- While the steak is sitting, preheat your grill for indirect heat at medium heat (about 300 degrees F).
- Grill the steak indirect until the internal temperature is about 15 degrees F below your desired final doneness (this will be about 30 minutes for a final medium-rare), flipping once at the halfway point.
- Remove the steak to a platter and stoke/increase your fire for direct grilling at high heat (preferably 500+ degrees F).
- Once grill has reached high heat add the steaks.
- Sear each side of the steak until it is browned nicely.
- Stay close to the grill and flip the steak every minute or two to ensure even searing.
- Remove it from the grill onto a platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest.
- While the steak is resting, make the sauce.
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the bourbon and very carefully set it alight to burn off the alcohol.
- Warning: The blue alcohol flames can rise up to 18 or more inches from the top of the pan, so ensure that you have adequate clearance above the pan.
- When the blue flames have subsided, add the cream, Worcestershire sauce and beef base to the pan.
- Bring to a simmer while whisking well, then reduce to low and cook two minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Remove the steak from the platter to a cutting board.
- Add the released steak juices into the sauce and whisk well and remove from the heat.
- Pour the sauce into the platter.
- Slice the steak on a bias (diagonal) at about 1/4, place the slices in the sauce on the platter.
- Or, you can do what I did and serve it whole.
- Serve and enjoy!
- I dusted mine with a little more freshly ground pepper.
