Cowboy Cut

Meat

Cowboy Cut

Cowboy cut usually means a thick, bone-in ribeye with a shorter bone than a tomahawk—still dramatic, still ribeye meat, but easier to fit on a grill grate or plate. Some butchers use the name for any oversized bone-in rib steak. Marbling and thickness matter more than the marketing name. It is prized as a slightly more practical showpiece than the full tomahawk handle, with the same rich, fat-basted eating quality. Season simply, cook over two-zone heat, and rest. Serve with assertive sides; the steak is rich.
