Ingredients
  

For the Steak

  • 1 piece Tomahawk steak (2 inches thick) Look for well-marbled steak with a long Frenched bone

For Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons Kosher salt For seasoning the steak
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper For seasoning the steak
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder For seasoning the steak
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil or beef tallow For rubbing on the steak before seasoning

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Remove the tomahawk steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  • Season the steak generously on both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub with olive oil or beef tallow.

Cooking

  • Preheat the grill to 400°F with a two-zone setup for direct and indirect heat.
  • Sear the steak over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side to develop a crust.
  • Move the steak to the indirect heat side and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
  • Let the steak rest for 10-15 minutes on a cutting board, tented with foil.

Serving

  • Slice the steak against the grain into thick slices for serving.
  • Serve with classic side dishes like creamy mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus.

Notes

Resting the steak before slicing is crucial to retain juices. Avoid cutting too soon to ensure a moist steak.
