Method
Prepare the Steak
- Remove the tomahawk steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. This helps the steak cook evenly.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This is crucial for achieving a good sear.
- Rub the steak with olive oil on both sides. This will help the seasoning stick and promote browning.
- Season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides. The salt will enhance the flavor and help form a crust.
Grill the Steak
- Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). Make sure the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, place the tomahawk steak on the grill. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust.
- After searing, move the steak to a cooler part of the grill (indirect heat) and close the lid. Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Insert it into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding the bone.
Rest and Serve
- Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the grill and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- After resting, slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve garnished with fresh rosemary and thyme.
- Enjoy your perfectly grilled tomahawk steak with your favorite sides!

Notes
For best results, use a high-quality tomahawk steak and allow it to rest before slicing. Pair with sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
