Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3-4 pound) Tomahawk Steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Optional: Fresh rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves for basting
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For a flavorful Tomahawk steak, you want a good sear.
- Pat the Tomahawk steak completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for a flavorful crust.
- In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. This seasoning blend enhances the tomahawk steak flavor.
- Generously rub the seasoning mixture all over the Tomahawk steak, ensuring it’s evenly coated for that flavorful tomahawk steak taste.
- Brush the steak with olive oil.
- Place the Tomahawk steak on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for a good sear.
- Reduce the grill heat to medium-low. Close the lid and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check. For medium-rare, aim for 125-130°F (52-54°C). This cooking method helps achieve a juicy tomahawk steak flavor.
- If using, add rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves to the grill during the last few minutes of cooking and baste the steak with the rendered juices for added flavor.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the Tomahawk steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes. Resting is key to a flavorful and juicy steak.
- Slice the Tomahawk steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful tomahawk steak!
Notes
- For an even more flavorful tomahawk steak, consider a reverse sear method if you have a smoker or oven.
- Experiment with different rubs and marinades to further enhance the tomahawk steak flavor profile.
- The bone helps insulate the meat, contributing to its juiciness and flavor.
