One of the hottest beef cuts on the market today, the crown steak is an extremely tender steak that is taken from the upper portion of the ribeye just above a thick layer of fat.  As with a ribeye steak, the crown steak is perfect for high heat grilling as in this Omaha Steaks-sponsored recipe for crown steak with rosemary salt and peppercorn cream sauce.

GRILLED RIBEYE CROWN STEAK WITH PEPPERCORN CREAM SAUCE

Ingredients

4 (7oz) Omaha Steaks Private Reserve® beef ribeye crown steaks 

1 tbsp. Kosher salt 

½ tsp. garlic powder 

½ tsp. onion powder 

¼ tsp. ground rosemary 

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 

¼ cup beef broth 

1 tbsp. black peppercorns, lightly crushed 

1 tbsp. unsalted butter 

1 cup heavy cream 

Kosher salt to taste 

Instructions

Prepare grill for high heat cooking (450+ degrees).  Combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground rosemary in a small bowl and mix well.  Coat both sides of the steaks with olive oil and season liberally with the rosemary-salt mixture.  Grill steaks for 7-10 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 130 degrees for medium-rare.  Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving. 

As the steaks grill, place a small skillet on the grill and add the beef broth, peppercorns and butter.  Let the broth simmer for 3-5 minutes until it reduces by one half.  Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.  Allow the peppercorn cream sauce simmer for another 3-5 minutes until it has thickened slightly.  Remove the sauce from the grill and serve atop the steaks.
