Ingredients

  • 2 Tomahawk steaks
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
Compound Butter
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat an outdoor grill to highest heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Use approximately 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper per pound of steak. Get the top, bottom, and all the sides. Use a generous amount of salt as this is a thick steak.
  3. Sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, letting the flames lick up the sides. You'll know the steak is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grill.
  4. Transfer the steak to a baking sheet . Bake in the preheated oven until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees. This will take about 30 minutes, but use a meat thermometer for 100% accuracy.
  5. Let rest 5-10 minutes. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of compound butter onto the steak. Slice as serve.

Notes

  • *Rule of thumb when seasoning steaks: 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound.
  • Don't have a grill? No problem! Instead of searing your steak on a grill, you can sear it indoors on your stovetop before placing it in the oven. Use a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron.
  • If you want to keep your steak in the grill to finish cooking, you'll need to arrange for it to cook over indirect heat. Keep the lid of the grill closed and adjust the flames to keep the heat indirect and the temperature in the grill at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
