Tomahawk Steak

The steak:
2.8 pounds Tomahawk Steak with bone attatched.
2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt

Ingredients for the Rub:
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon sweet paprika (1 1/2t)
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced

Instructions
  • Liberally salt the steak all over with kosher salt.
  • Place steak on a baking sheet (on a rack if you have one) for 12-24 hours uncovered in the refrigerator.
  • Remove steak from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. (The internal temperature of the steak should be around 70˚F before cooking). This is an important step so don't skip it!
  • Preheat the oven to 200°F. (230°F)
  • Coat the steak liberally with the spice rub and let sit for about 15 minutes on the rack.
  • Prepare the rub mixture which is a thick paste of olive oil, paprika, black pepper, and crushed garlic
  • Cook steak, on the rack and baking sheet, until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for best results. (The cooking time can be anywhere from 35-50 minutes)
                - Rare = 120°F (cool red center)
                - Medium Rare = 125°F (warm red center)
                - Medium = 130°F (warm pink center)
    NOTE: The time will vary depending on the cut of your steak and your individual oven
  • While steak is cooking in the oven start the grill and heat to medium-high,
  • Remove steak from the oven and transfer it to the preheated grill. Sear evenly on each side for about 3 minutes to obtain grill marks.
  • Remove from the grill and let the steak rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Cut steak away from the bone, and slice against the grain into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • For best presentation arrange the cut steak around the bone.

Notes
  • Every steak is cut a little differently so using an instant-read thermometer will help you get the best results. 
  • Be sure to allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking them (70˚F). This is an important step so don't skip it!
  • The steaks used for our testing were 2.8 pounds.
  • Cooking time will vary based on the size of your steak, so this is just a guide. 
  • If you don't have fresh garlic for the rub you can substitute 1 Tablespoon of garlic powder.
