Description

A delicious grilled Tomahawk steak recipe featuring a perfect sear on an outdoor grill and finishing in the oven, topped with flavorful homemade compound butter made with garlic, fresh herbs, and Worcestershire sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

Steak Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 Tomahawk steaks (approximately 1 teaspoon salt and pepper per pound)

Compound Butter

  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill and Oven: Heat an outdoor grill to the highest heat setting. Simultaneously, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Season the Steaks: Generously season both Tomahawk steaks with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides, using approximately 1 teaspoon of each per pound of steak to ensure deep flavor penetration.
  3. Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks on the hottest part of the grill and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Allow the flames to touch the edges for a smoky flavor. Flip the steak only when it releases easily from the grill surface.
  4. Bake the Steaks: Transfer the seared steaks onto a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit, approximately 30 minutes, using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Prepare Compound Butter: While the steaks bake, combine butter, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  6. Rest and Finish: Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes to redistribute the juices. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of compound butter over each steak before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Rule of thumb when seasoning steaks is 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound to enhance flavor properly.
  • If you don’t have access to a grill, sear the steaks indoors on a heavy skillet or cast iron pan before finishing them in the oven.
  • To finish cooking steaks on the grill, cook over indirect heat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit with the lid closed to maintain consistent temperature.
