Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 large tomahawk steak
Seasonings and Spices:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Aromatics and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Instructions
- Craft a flavor-packed rub by blending brown sugar, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small container. Reserve 2 teaspoons for compound butter preparation.
- Generously massage the entire steak surface with the prepared rub, then place on a sheet pan. Allow the steak to dry-brine uncovered in the refrigerator overnight, enhancing its flavor and tenderness.
- Create compound butter by thoroughly mashing butter with finely minced shallot, garlic, chives, and the reserved rub in a small mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Extract the steak from the refrigerator, letting it rest at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Carefully position the steak on the sheet pan and roast until its internal temperature reaches 110°F (43°C), approximately 45 minutes. Monitor closely after 30 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- While the steak roasts, crank the grill to high heat, preparing for the final searing stage.
- Transfer the steak from the oven to the blazing hot grill. Sear each side for 2 minutes, aiming for an internal temperature between 125-135°F (51-57°C) for a perfect medium-rare finish.
- Immediately crown the grilled steak with the prepared compound butter, allowing it to melt luxuriously. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes to redistribute internal juices.
- Expertly slice the steak against the grain, drizzle with any remaining melted butter, and serve for a spectacular dining experience.
Notes
- Dry-Brining Magic: Letting the steak rest uncovered in the refrigerator overnight allows the seasoning to penetrate deeply, creating a flavor-packed exterior and helping achieve a beautiful crust.
- Temperature Precision: Use a reliable meat thermometer to ensure the perfect doneness, as Tomahawk steaks are thick and can vary in cooking time.
- Butter Boost: The compound butter adds richness and depth, melting into the hot steak and enhancing its natural flavors with herbs and spices.
- Resting is Crucial: Allowing the steak to rest after grilling helps redistribute juices, ensuring each slice remains tender and succulent.
