Prepare the Cowboy Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.

Zest the lemon directly into the pan, then squeeze in the lemon juice. Add the minced garlic, diced rosemary, and diced thyme. Stir well.

Stir in the Dijon mustard, seasonings to taste (such as Buttery Garlic Pepper and AP All Purpose Seasoning), and chopped parsley. Add a dash of liquid smoke. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the steak: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Generously season one side of the steak with kosher salt and AP seasoning, pressing the seasonings into the meat. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Heat a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works best) over high heat until smoking. Add the high smoke point oil to the pan.

Carefully place the seasoned steak into the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep, golden-brown crust forms.

Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, halved shallot, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs to the pan around the steak. Tilt the pan slightly and, using a spoon, continuously baste the steak with the melted butter and aromatics for 1-2 minutes.

Transfer the skillet with the steak and aromatics to the preheated oven. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until desired internal temperature is reached (e.g., 125-130°F for medium-rare).

Remove the steak from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.

Slice the rested steak against the grain into desired thickness. Serve immediately with the prepared Cowboy Butter for dipping.
