Steak
- 1 Tomahawk steak (about 2–2.5 pounds)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Finishing
- Season the Steak: Generously season the Tomahawk steak on both sides with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the beef.
- Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill for direct heat cooking, ensuring it is hot enough to sear the steak properly.
- Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the grill and cook it over high heat until it reaches your desired level of doneness, turning once to get a good crust on both sides.
- Butter Finish: Once grilled, remove the steak from the heat and add butter on top to melt over the steak, infusing it with extra richness and flavor.
- Rest and Serve: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for perfect cooking: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Resting the steak is crucial to keep it juicy.
- Optional: Add garlic or herbs to the butter for extra flavor.
- Let the steak come to room temperature before seasoning for even cooking.
