What is a Tomahawk Steak?

A Tomahawk Steak is similar to a ribeye steak, but it has an elongated bone that gives it the look of a single-handed axe, hence the name. Aside with its striking look, the Tomahawk is prized for its juicy softness and beautiful marbling.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Perfect Tomahawk Steak

Ingredients:

1 Tomahawk steak (usually about 2-3 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons of rosemary (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
Avocado oil

Instructions: Preparation: Let the Tomahawk steak come to room temperature. This will help it cook evenly. Preheat your grill to a high temperature or if using an oven, set it to 375°F (190°C). Seasoning: Rub the steak generously with olive oil. Season both sides with a liberal amount of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary over the steak, pressing them onto the surface of the meat. Grilling: Place the steak bone-side down on the grill. This allows the bone to act as a heat sink and keeps the steak from overcooking. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side to create a nice crust. Oven Finish (for perfect internal temperature): If you're using a grill, transfer the steak to the cooler side, or if you're using an oven, place your steak in a preheated oven. Let the steak roast for about 20-30 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (55°C). The exact timing will depend on the thickness of your steak. During the last 5 minutes, place butter on top of the steak so it melts over the meat, adding additional richness. Rest & Serve: Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak. Slice against the grain, serve, and watch your guests’ eyes light up!
There you have it! A foolproof method to achieving the perfect Tomahawk steak every time. So, the next time you want to impress your guests or simply indulge in a gourmet meal at home, remember this recipe. Enjoy the feast and happy cooking!
Tips & Tricks: Invest in a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the perfect doneness every time, a meat thermometer is your best friend. The Bone: Don’t waste that beautiful bone. Once you've devoured the steak, save the bone for a beef broth or give it a quick roast for a tasty snack. Side Dishes: Complement your Tomahawk steak with classic sides like mashed potatoes, asparagus, or a light salad.
Turn every grill into a stage, and let the Tomahawk Steak be the star. Perfectly cooked, perfectly savored, every single time.
