Ingredients:

  • 1 Tomahawk steak (2–3 inches thick, 2–3 lbs)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for basting)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30–60 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.

  2. Rub the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add herbs if desired.

Step 2: Preheat the Grill

  • Create a two-zone heat setup:

    • High heat side (~500°F / 260°C) for searing

    • Low heat side (~250°F / 120°C) for indirect cooking

Step 3: Sear the Steak

  1. Place the steak over high heat and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until a dark crust forms.

  2. Don’t forget to sear the edges for extra flavor.

Step 4: Cook Indirectly

  1. Move the steak to the low-heat side of the grill.

  2. Close the lid and cook until your desired internal temperature:

    • Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)

    • Medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)

    • Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)

  3. Use a meat thermometer for precise results.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

  1. Remove the steak from the grill and rest for 10–15 minutes.

  2. Optional: Add butter and let it melt over the steak for extra richness.

  3. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, add wood chips to your grill.

  • Reverse sear works well: cook indirectly first, then sear at the end for the perfect crust.
