Tomahawk Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the tomahawk steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Press the seasoning into the meat to adhere.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (around 500°F/260°C). If using charcoal, ensure the coals are white hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Drizzle the olive oil on the steak and place it on the grill. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until a nice crust forms.

  5. 5

    Cook to Desired Doneness

    Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the steak, flipping occasionally, until it reaches your desired doneness (about 10-15 minutes for medium-rare).

  6. 6

    Add Flavor

    During the last few minutes of cooking, add butter and rosemary to the grill, basting the steak with the melted butter.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
