Ingredients
- 1-3 pound tomahawk steak
- 2 tbsp salted butter

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.
