Ingredients:
For the Tomahawk Ribeye Steak:
1 Tomahawk ribeye steak (about 2-3 lbs)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt (preferably sea salt)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs rosemary (optional)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for basting)
For the Sides:
Fresh broccoli, steamed or roasted
French fries (freshly baked or fried)
Ketchup (for dipping, optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Steak:
Bring the steak to room temperature: Take the Tomahawk steak out of the fridge about 30-45 minutes before cooking. This ensures the steak cooks evenly.
Season the steak: Drizzle the steak with olive oil and rub it into the meat. Generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. For extra flavor, you can also add a touch of garlic powder or smoked paprika.
Grill the Steak:3. Preheat your grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, making sure the grill grates are clean. If you're using charcoal, set it up for indirect grilling.
Grill the steak: Place the steak on the grill. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, until it forms a beautiful golden-brown crust.
Baste with butter: After searing, reduce the heat to medium and add a tablespoon of butter on the steak. Place the smashed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs on the grill next to the steak for aromatic flavor. Continue grilling for another 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130°F (54°C).
Rest the steak: Once the steak is done, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the steak tender and juicy.
Prepare the Sides:
7. Steam or roast the broccoli: If you're roasting, toss the broccoli with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
Cook the fries: Whether baked or fried, make sure they are crispy and golden to complement the rich flavors of the steak.
Serve the Steak:9. Slice and serve: Once the steak has rested, slice it against the grain into thick slices. Serve the steak with your roasted broccoli, crispy fries, and a drizzle of any juices from the resting steak.
Pro Tip:
If you want an extra burst of flavor, drizzle the steak with a little bit of melted garlic butter right before serving.
For a smokier flavor, consider adding a few wood chips to your grill.
Enjoy your Tomahawk Ribeye Steak—a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds! 😋🍴
