FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES FOR THE PERFECT TEXAS STEAK:
- Invest in good steaks...dry aged are best.
- Don’t get a thin steak for grilling – 1- 1 1/2 inches is best.
- Season simply.
- Let steaks come to room temperature with seasoning – 1 hour minimum!
- Grill only over super hot coals.
- Let meat rest at least 5 minutes after coming off grill – if you do not do this you will have a dry, flavorless piece of meat!
These tips work with any cut of steak but the Cowboy recommends a minimum thickness of one inch…if any thinner the steak will cook to quickly. There is no real recipe here…just a tried and true method for cooking the most mouthwatering steaks you will ever put in your mouth.
With simple seasonings and a few simple tips you will be grilling up mouthwatering Texas style steaks in no time!

INGREDIENTS
- Steak, cut of your choice, 1-11/2 inches thick (I prefer a New York Strip or Ribeye but this works with any steak)
- Course Sea Salt
- Fresh Ground Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Turbinado Sugar or Sugar in the Raw
- A super hot fire!
DIRECTIONS
- STEP 1 Lay steaks out on a sheet pan, coat liberally with salt and pepper including sides of steak
- STEP 2 Dust sparingly with garlic powder, using about 1/8 tsp per side of steak
- STEP 3 Sprinkle steaks with turbinado sugar, using 1/2 tsp per side.
- STEP 4 Rub in seasonings. Turn steaks over and repeat, making sure to season the sides.
- STEP 5 Let steaks sit at room temperature for 1-3 hours before grilling.
- STEP 6 Grill steaks over hot coals for 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired temperature. I like mine steaks rare, so about 2-3 minutes a side is perfect depending on the thickness.
- STEP 7 After removing steaks from grill, let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or serving.
- STEP 8 Prepare yourself for steak nirvana and savor ever bite!
