Step 1: Prepare the Herb Butter
- In a bowl, combine butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well until smooth.
- Transfer to plastic wrap or parchment paper, shape into a log, wrap, and chill until firm (30 minutes to 1 hour).
Step 2: Prep the Steak
- Remove the tomahawk steak from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to come to room temperature.
- Pat it dry with paper towels.
- Rub both sides with olive oil.
- Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 3: Grill or Sear + Oven (Two Methods)
Grill Method (Recommended):
- Preheat your grill to high heat (~500°F/260°C) for direct grilling and set up a cool side for indirect heat.
- Sear the steak over direct heat for 3–4 minutes per side until crust forms.
- Move the steak to indirect heat and grill with the lid closed until internal temp reaches:
- 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare
- 135°F (57°C) for medium
Use a meat thermometer for best accuracy.
- During the last 5 minutes, place slices of herb butter on top to melt.
Pan + Oven Method:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sear the steak in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer skillet to oven and roast until desired doneness is reached (about 10–15 minutes for medium-rare).
- Add herb butter to the pan and baste the steak just before removing.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
- Remove steak and let rest on a board for 10 minutes.
- Top with extra slices of herb butter while resting.
- Slice against the grain and serve.
Suggested Sides:
- Grilled corn with parmesan and lime
- Crispy rosemary potatoes
- Charred broccolini
- Garlic butter mushrooms
Pro Tips:
- Let the meat rest to keep it juicy and tender.
- Use compound butter generously—it’s where the flavor magic happens.
- Reverse-searing is another great option if you want a thicker crust with slow cooking.
