1

Prep the Tomahawk Steak

Start by removing the steak from the fridge and letting it come to room temperature. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the steak from becoming too tough. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

2

Fire up the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat. You want it nice and hot to achieve that perfect sear on the steak. If using charcoal, make sure the coals are fully lit and spread evenly.

3

Sear it like a Boss

Place the Tomahawk Steak on the hottest part of the grill. Let it sizzle and sear for about 2 minutes on each side, or until you achieve a beautiful caramelized crust.

4

Indirect Heat is the Sweet Spot

Once the steak is seared to perfection, move it to the indirect heat zone of the grill. This allows the steak to cook more gently and evenly, without burning the outside. Close the lid, and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes per side for medium-rare.

5

Rest and Carve

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy steak. Finally, carve into thick, mouthwatering slices and enjoy!
