OK, those may not be Neil Young's exact<\/em> lyrics, but I think cowboys past and present would appreciate the authenticity of my improvised verse.\r\n\r\nWhether you're a real cowboy or merely a fan of rustic, homestyle cuisine, Ree Drummond's Pioneer Woman cowboy steak recipe is for you (as is this Pioneer Woman pot roast<\/a>). This monstrous, indulgent steak will feed a crowd and is perfect for your next cookout.\r\n

What is a cowboy steak?<\/h2>\r\n\"Raw\r\n

If you're not familiar with a cowboy-cut steak, it's a special cut of ribeye that got its name from the steak's popularity among ranchers and cowboys. This bone-in ribeye is typically thicker than a standard cut, usually around 2 inches thick, with more meat included beyond the eye. Often, butchers will also trim some of the exterior fat from the steak as well for a cleaner appearance. (If you can find a cowboy ribeye from a butcher with dry-aged steaks<\/a>, it's worth the splurge.)<\/p>\r\nAnother key feature of this type of steak<\/a> is its Frenched bone (meaning an exposed bone trimmed of all meat and fat) that was originally intended to serve as a handle so cowboys out on the range could eat this cut straight off the bone. However, don't confuse this cut with its fancy-pants cousin, the tomahawk steak. While similar, a tomahawk ribeye features a longer, Frenched bone with a little extra fat left on the steak.\r\n
