Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the tomahawk steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill or oven to high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the tomahawk steak with salt and black pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steak on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 4

    Rest the Steak

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

Mushrooms

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested tomahawk steak and serve it on a platter. Drizzle the beef demi-glace over the steak and top with the sautéed mushrooms.
