Equipment

  • Charcoal or gas grill
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs
  • Basting Brush
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 1-3 pound tomahawk steak
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Dry Brine:

  • Take the tomahawk steak out of the fridge and place it on a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
  • Season it generously on all sides with 2 tablespoons of Kosher salt.
  • Let it rest for 2 hours.

Preheat Grill:

  • Preheat your grill for two-zone cooking.
  • Half the grill should be on high, direct heat, and the other half with no heat.
  • Aim for an overall grill temperature of around 275 degrees F.

Low Temperature Grill:

  • Put the seasoned tomahawk steak on the indirect, low heat side and close the lid.
  • Cook until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F for medium rare (45 minutes to 1 hour).
  • Flip the steak once around 20-25 minutes in.

High Temperature Sear:

  • Move the tomahawk steak to the high, direct heat side for a sear.
  • Keep the lid open and sear for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Position the bone away from direct heat to avoid scorching.

Rest with Butter:

  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
  • Top it with 2 tablespoons of salted butter and crack fresh black pepper on top.
  • Let the steak rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Quality of the Steak: Choose a high-quality tomahawk steak with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Room Temperature: Allow the steak to come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
Pat Dry: Pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning to promote a better sear.
Proper Seasoning: Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on all sides. Ensure an even coating for a balanced flavor.
Preheating the Grill: Preheat the grill to high heat for a good sear. Create direct and indirect heat zones for versatile cooking.
