Description

A succulent grilled Tomahawk steak recipe featuring a perfectly seared crust and finished in the oven with a flavorful compound butter made from garlic, fresh herbs, and Worcestershire sauce, delivering a rich and tender steak experience.


Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 Tomahawk steaks
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

Compound Butter

  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill and oven: Heat an outdoor grill to the highest heat setting and simultaneously preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for finishing the steaks.
  2. Season the steaks: Generously season each Tomahawk steak with kosher salt and black pepper, using approximately 1 teaspoon of each per pound of steak, covering all sides thoroughly.
  3. Sear the steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, allowing the flames to touch the sides. Flip when the steak releases easily to achieve a perfect crust.
  4. Bake the steaks: Transfer the seared steaks to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit, approximately 30 minutes, using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Prepare the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the room temperature butter with minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until fully blended.
  6. Rest and serve: Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of compound butter onto each steak before slicing and serving to enhance the flavor and juiciness.

Notes

  • Rule of thumb: use 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of steak for proper seasoning.
  • If you don’t have a grill, sear the steak indoors on the stovetop using a heavy skillet or cast iron pan before finishing in the oven.
  • To finish cooking entirely on the grill, set up indirect heat, keep the grill lid closed, and maintain a temperature around 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Allow the steak to rest after baking so juices redistribute, ensuring tenderness.
