2 pounds Tomahawk steak
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Herb butter (recipe below)
Herb Butter:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
Prepare the Steak: Remove the Tomahawk steak from the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry and rub with olive oil. Season both sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.
Preheat Grill/Pan: Preheat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. For a grill, create two heat zones (high and medium).
Sear the Steak: Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. If using a grill, move to a cooler part for further cooking.
Finish Cooking: Reduce heat to medium and cook the steak for an additional 10-15 minutes, checking the internal temperature (120-125°F for rare, 130-135°F for medium-rare, etc.).
Rest the Steak: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes after removing from heat to redistribute the juices.
Top with Herb Butter: Place a dollop of herb butter on the warm steak and allow it to melt.
Serve: Slice against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Herb Butter Directions:
Combine softened butter, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and thyme in a small bowl.
Mix well and roll into a log using plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Variations: Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy herb butter, or mix in blue cheese for a tangy twist.
Storage: Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat steak wrapped in foil at 300°F for 10-15 minutes, or in a pan over low heat.
