Try a cowboy steak! Take a good cut of beef, like a ribeye, and marinade or season to taste. Throw a well-seasoned cast iron (no, there are no substitutes, it's GOT to be cast iron) skillet on the stove, dry, and heat on a medium-high heat until it's too hot to comfortably lay your thumb on the rim. Then let it heat for ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES. Add NO OIL or cooking spray, it'll BURN if you do. Throw your steak in the dry skillet, and cover with a wire-mesh splatter screen (available at any good kitchen shop). Cook five minutes/side for medium rare, seven minutes/side for medium. Don't overcook, you can turn ten dollars worth of good beef into shoe leather quickly using this technique! Your steak will have a nicely charred outside, and be tender and juicy inside. Baked potato on the side, of course, and for an extra treat, heat a can of Ranch Style Beans in the skillet with the drippings from your steak. Some sliced tomatos and cucumbers with Ranch dressing complete the meal. Cowboys working the range in the old days thrived on beef and beans cooked this way.
