Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 Tomahawk steak (approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Finishing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Season the steak: Pat the Tomahawk steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This will enhance the natural flavor of the beef.
- Preheat the grill: Prepare your grill for high heat cooking. Aim for a grill temperature around 450°F to 500°F to achieve a good sear.
- Grill the steak: Place the Tomahawk steak on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time slightly for your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Butter baste: During the last minute of grilling, melt the butter and spoon it over the steak to add richness and juiciness.
- Rest the steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender steak.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice against the grain and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
- Resting the steak is essential to keep it juicy.
- Bring the steak to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
- Optionally, add garlic or rosemary butter for extra flavor.
- Pair with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes.
