1. How To Cook Tomahawk Steak on Grill
Ingredients
- 1 tomahawk steak (2-3 lbs)
- 1 tsp salt and black pepper powder
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4-6 garlic cloves (optional)
- 4-6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Rosemary sprigs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the grill to high heat, around 450-500°F for gas grill or 225-250°F for pellet grill.
Season the tomahawk steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub a little bit of olive oil on the meat to help it stick.
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic and softened butter.
Once the grill is heated, place the tomahawk steak on the grill grates. For a gas grill, place the steak on the hottest part of the grill. For a pellet grill, place the steak on the lowest grill grate to ensure maximum smoke flavor.
Close the lid and cook the steak for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, cook to 130°F, for medium, cook to 140°F, and for medium-well, cook to 150°F.
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the garlic butter mixture on the tomahawk steak and add rosemary sprigs for extra flavor.
Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for a more tender and flavorful steak.
Slice the tomahawk steak against the grain and serve immediately.
