Cowboy Butter Tomahawk Steak

Cowboy Butter Tomahawk Steak

Recipe Details

Author Matt Pittman
Prep Time About 1 hour (seasoning rest at room temp)
Cook Time Not specified; sear 2 minutes per side, then flip every minute until desired doneness

Summary

A thick-cut tomahawk is seared over ripping hot charcoal for a crispy, smoky crust and juicy interior, then finished with rich, flavor-packed cowboy butter.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim off any hard fat that won’t render from the tomahawk steak.

  2. 2

    Season all sides of the steak generously with Meat Church Holy Cow and let the seasoning adhere.

  3. 3

    Let the seasoned steak sit at room temperature for about 1 hour so it cooks evenly.

  4. 4

    Prepare a ripping hot charcoal grill.

  5. 5

    Sear the steak for about 2 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Continue cooking, flipping the steak every 1 minute until you reach your desired char and doneness.

  7. 7

    For medium-rare, target 130-135°F final temperature; account for carryover cooking by pulling the steak about 10°F early (e.g., pull at ~125°F for a 135°F finish).

  8. 8

    Transfer the steak to a board and rest for at least 10 minutes.

  9. 9

    Top with cowboy butter (or any compound/plain butter) while resting.

  10. 10

    Slice and serve.

Ingredients

  • 1 tomahawk steak (1.5-inch thick)
