Perfectly Cooked Tomahawk Steak

Ingredients

  • 1 tomahawk ribeye steak (2–2.5 inches thick, about 2.5–3 lbs)
  • Kosher salt, generously
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2–3 tbsp high smoke-point oil (avocado or canola oil)

Optional Garlic Butter Finish

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak

  1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
  2. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.

2. Reverse Sear Method

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Place the steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  3. Cook until the internal temperature reaches:
    • 115°F (46°C) for rare
    • 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare
    • 135°F (57°C) for medium
  4. This usually takes 35–50 minutes, depending on thickness.

3. Sear the Steak

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
  2. Add the oil.
  3. Sear the steak for 1–2 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.

4. Butter Baste (Optional)

  1. Add butter, garlic, and herbs to the skillet.
  2. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for 1 minute.

5. Rest & Serve

  1. Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
  2. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
  3. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
