Walking R Ranch Steak Cooking Instructions
Thawing & Preparation
For best flavor and tenderness, thaw your Walking R Ranch steak in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator 30–40 minutes before cooking to allow the steak to reach room temperature.
Grill Master Method (Charcoal or Gas)
- Season generously — we recommend a simple mix of salt and cracked black pepper or your favorite steak rub.
- Charcoal Grill:
- Place steaks over the hottest part of the grill and sear each side for 1–2 minutes.
- Move to medium, ash-covered coals and continue grilling to your preferred doneness.
- Turn the steak about 1 minute before the halfway point of total cooking time.
- Gas Grill:
- Preheat grill on high heat.
- Sear both sides for 1–2 minutes, then reduce to medium heat and finish to desired doneness.
- Turn 1 minute before halfway through cooking.
Stovetop Skillet Method
- Preheat a heavy skillet (cast iron or nonstick) over medium heat for about 5 minutes until hot.
- Season as desired. Place steaks in the skillet — do not add oil or water and do not cover.
- Cook to desired doneness, turning 1 minute before the halfway point of total cooking time.
Dale’s Method – Pellet Grill & Skillet Finish
This is Dale’s go-to technique for a perfect Walking R Ranch steak — tender inside, seared and flavorful outside.
- Seasoning: At room temperature, season both sides with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Pellet Grill:
- Set the grill to a low temperature and slowly bring the steak’s internal temperature to 120°F.
- Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Searing:
- Heat a stainless steel skillet to about 500°F with just enough high-viscosity oil (like avocado or grapeseed) to lightly coat the bottom.
- Add a few garlic cloves to infuse the oil.
- Place the steaks in the skillet — they will stick at first. When they release on their own, turn them over and repeat on the other side.
- Sear the edges as well for a rich crust all around.
- Finish: Add a spoonful of garlic butter, then let the steak rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Steak Doneness Guide
Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate results:
- Rare: 120–125°F (very red, cool center)
- Medium Rare: 130–135°F (warm red center — recommended for Walking R Ranch beef)
- Medium: 140–145°F (pink center)
- Medium Well: 150–155°F (slightly pink center)
- Well Done: 160°F and above (little or no pink)
Rest Before Serving
After cooking, let your steak rest for 5–10 minutes on a warm plate or cutting board.
This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender, flavorful bite in every slice.

The Story Behind Our Ranch
My father, Larry Robinson, lived his entire life in the rural area along Highway B west of Montgomery City. From the time he was a child of five, he dreamed of owning open acreage, raising cattle, and building good fences. He worked his entire life to achieve that vision — and, more importantly, to leave that legacy to his family.
I vividly remember the farming crash of the 1980s. As a young teenager, I watched our cattle and most of our working horses sold. Then the farm equipment went, followed by my father’s truck. During that time, he took a part-time job nearby and rode his horse to work so that my mother would still have a vehicle if she needed it. Even through hardship, they pressed on. My mother worked as an artist, and together they showed us the meaning of resilience, discipline, and dignity.
Over time, through persistence and hard work, they rebuilt a larger herd of cattle and repurchased land that had belonged to our family for over 100 years. My father worked every day to improve and maintain the farms, leading by example and teaching us the importance of being good stewards of the land.
My father has since passed away, but my mother still owns the seven farms they assembled in Montgomery County. As a child, I watched firsthand the effort, sacrifice, and determination it took to bring these family farms together.
These lands are rich not only in heritage, but in natural beauty and ecological importance. They contain natural springs, native plants, waterways, and wooded areas that serve as habitat for wildlife, including eagles and brown bats. The soil has not been tilled for crops in at least 70 years, preserving both its structure and its natural balance.
Four of these farms are officially registered Missouri Century Farms, with origins dating back to 1838, 1873, 1883, and 1902.
A restored Union School House, which originally stood on County Line Road, now sits near the main home place. This historic school once served families from both Callaway and Montgomery Counties, located between Big Loutre Creek and Little Loutre Creek so children wouldn’t have to cross the waters during periods of high flow. Notably, my father’s mother taught school in this very building.
Today, the land is still actively used as cattle grassland. Our family continues to enjoy hunting, campouts, horseback riding, and all that nature has to offer. One of the grandsons, Keith Struby, has continued the cattle operation using the registered brand my father created in 1960.
We are the stewards of this land, and we strongly oppose its use in any way that does not honor its health, history, and long-term value.
