Instructions

Pat the tomahawk steak dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt and pepper, using more as needed to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, 2.5 lb. tomahawk ribeye steak,1 teaspoon sea salt,1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat to grill to high. Sear one side of the tomahawk steak over direct heat for 3-4 minutes until browned, then flip and repeat on the other side.

Turn the middle burner off and reduce the left and right burners to medium low (you want to maintain a temperature of 350 – 375 degrees). Place the steak over the middle burner and cook over indirect heat for about 30 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 130-135 degrees for medium doneness, flipping halfway through. Begin checking the steak for doneness after about 20 minutes of indirect cooking.

Remove from heat, cover loosely with foil and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. After resting, cut along the bone to remove, then slice. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Reverse Sear Technique 🔥
Start cooking the tomahawk steak at a low temperature (250°F) in the oven until it reaches 110°F internal temp, then finish with a high-heat sear for perfect edge-to-edge doneness.
Bone-In Flavor Boost 🦴
Let the steak come to room temperature for 1 hour before cooking, which helps the massive bone conduct heat more evenly and ensures a more consistent cook.
Fat Cap Management 🔪
Score the fat cap in a diamond pattern to help render it more effectively and create a beautiful crispy exterior during grilling.
Indirect Heat Mastery 🌡️
Create a two-zone fire on the grill, using indirect heat to slowly bring the steak up to temperature before searing on the hot zone for perfect caramelization.
Butter Basting Magic 🧈
In the final minutes of grilling, add herb-infused butter and baste the steak continuously to enhance flavor and create a glossy, rich finish.
