Description

A delicious Grilled Tomahawk Steak recipe featuring perfectly seared thick-cut steaks finished in the oven and topped with a flavorful homemade compound butter made with garlic, rosemary, and Worcestershire sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 Tomahawk steaks
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

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 and preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for searing and finishing the steak.
  2. Season the Steaks: Generously season the Tomahawk steaks on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper, using about 1 teaspoon of each per pound of steak to ensure balanced seasoning on this thick cut.
  3. Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear each side for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the flames to lick the edges for an ideal crust and easy release from the grill surface when ready to flip.
  4. Finish in the Oven: Transfer the seared steaks to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake until an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit is reached, which should take approximately 30 minutes, checking with a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness and flavor.
  6. Prepare Compound Butter: While the steaks rest, in a bowl combine the room temperature salted butter, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  7. Serve with Compound Butter: Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the compound butter on top of each rested steak, then slice and serve immediately for a rich and aromatic finish.

Notes

  • Use 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of steak to ensure proper seasoning depth for thick cuts.
  • If you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, sear the steak indoors using a heavy skillet like cast iron before finishing it in the oven.
  • To finish cooking on the grill, set up indirect heat, keep the grill lid closed, and maintain the temperature around 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
