Cowboy Steak

Big Doug

Hey, Rumrunner, or anyone out there who knows about beef. My buddy was in Phoenix over the weekend and at a grocery store called "AJ's" the butcher shop had what was called "cowboy steaks". They were 2" to 3" thick and they had a bone around part of the outside. He T-Rex'd 'em and said they were really great. Does anyone know another name for this cut of beef and would it be available in the Seattle area? Thanx in advance. Big Doug.

In my neck of the woods...a "Cowboy" cut is a Ribeye, with the bone on. [p]The Rib bone is usually "frenched" a couple of inches back.[p]In it's primal form..it would be a slice of a 3 to 7 bone "Rib Roast". If a "Prime" grade...well then a "Prime Rib Roast".[p]For my money....it's a great piece of beef for grilling, and without a doubt some of the best beef flavor you'll ever get off the grill!![p][p]Enjoy!![p]Chubby

BigDoug,[p]What Chubby said. It's normally a bone-in rib steak. In Seattle ribeye usually is the boned equivalent, also interchangably called 'spencer'.[p]Larry's Markets around the area carry prime grade. Whole Foods and Central Market carry both prime and dry-aged. I don't think you can get dry-aged prime grade beef in Seattle directly though. Either prime OR dry-aged.[p]Todd

Rumrunner,[p]I was on a Elk meat website about a week ago and they called there flank steak Denver Steak. I know you where looking for this awhile ago. I searched more and couldn't find any other references though. Just thought I would throw that in. HTH[p]Steve-B
