Instrucciones

Preheat and prepare the grill

Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 500°F.

Consejo del chef: Ensure grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.

Prepare the steak

Brush the Tomahawk steak with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.

Consejo del chef: Let the steak sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Sear the steak

Place the steak directly over the hottest part of the grill. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side to create a nice crust.

Consejo del chef: Use tongs to turn the steak; avoid piercing with a fork to retain juices.

Cook to desired doneness

Move the steak to a cooler part of the grill and continue cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.

Consejo del chef: Cover the grill to cook more evenly and prevent flare-ups.

Rest the steak

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Consejo del chef: Tent the steak loosely with aluminum foil to keep it warm during resting.

Sugerencias para servir

Once your Tomahawk steak is perfectly grilled, let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This ensures each bite is as juicy as possible. Serve this magnificent steak with a side of grilled vegetables or a classic Caesar salad. A robust red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, pairs beautifully with the rich flavors of the steak.
