A juicy, tender tomahawk steak cooked using the reverse sear method and finished with a flavorful garlic herb butter for a restaurant-quality steak at home.

Ingredients

  • Tomahawk steak, about 2 to 2.5 pounds (900g to 1.1kg), bone-in, preferably USDA Choice or Prime
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning generously
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons (60g), softened
  • Fresh garlic, 3 cloves, minced
  • Fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Olive oil, 1 to 2 tablespoons, for searing
  • Optional: Smoked paprika, a pinch
  • Optional: Shallots, 1 small, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  2. Season the steak liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  3. Place the steak on the wire rack and cook in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 115°F (46°C) for rare or 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, about 30 to 45 minutes depending on thickness.
  4. While the steak cooks, prepare the garlic herb butter by combining softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  5. Remove the steak from the oven and pat dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add olive oil, then sear the steak for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side, including edges, until a deep brown crust forms.
  7. Remove the steak from the pan and rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  8. Top the steak with a generous dollop of garlic herb butter just before serving.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before searing to ensure a good crust. Use a heavy skillet like cast iron for best results. Rest the steak after searing to keep it juicy. For extra flavor, baste the steak with garlic herb butter while searing. For dairy-free option, substitute butter with vegan margarine or olive oil blended with garlic and herbs.
