Tomahawk Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tomahawk rib-eye steak, about 1 3/4 inches thick
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1 small head garlic
• 2 tablespoons oil (canola or grapeseed), plus extra for drizzling
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 4 large sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Pat the tomahawk steak dry with paper towels.
   • Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Allow the steak to come to room temperature.
2. Roast the Garlic:
   • Trim off the top 1/4 inch of the garlic bulb. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap in foil.
   • Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until soft. Remove and let it cool. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
3. Sear the Steak:
   • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until smoking.
   • Carefully place the steak in the skillet and sear without moving it for 3 minutes. Turn using tongs, using the bone as a handle, and sear for another 3 minutes. Sear the side opposite the bone for about 1 minute.
   • Transfer the steak to a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven for 9-10 minutes, or until desired doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness.
4. Prepare the Butter Sauce:
   • While the steak is roasting, melt the butter in the skillet over low heat.
   • Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the butter, stir to combine, and add the thyme sprigs. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
5. Finish and Serve:
   • Once the steak reaches desired doneness, remove from the oven and return to the skillet with the garlic butter.
   • Use a spoon to baste the steak with the garlic butter for about 1 minute.
   • Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
   • Remove optional foil and paper towel wrapping from the bone if used.
   • Slice the steak against the grain and drizzle with additional garlic butter.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy!

I think a Tomahawk steak recipe is a carnivore's dream come true! Though using a meat thermometer ensures you cook it to your desired level of doneness—whether rare, medium-rare, or beyond.

Thanks for your comment! Achieving a perfect medium-rare finish is all about timing and temperature. I recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure you hit around 135°F (57°C) internal temperature before resting your meat. Happy cooking!
