Ingredients:

  • 24-ounce tomahawk steak (1 Β½ – 2 inches thick)
  • ΒΌ cup butter softened
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp each of fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Instruction:

  1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you are planning to start cooking. It must come up to room temperature before you put it on the grill.
  2. Generously salt and pepper on both sides of the steak while it is coming to room temperature.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, and all the chopped fresh herbs. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat, 475 – 500 degrees F.
  5. Place the steak on the grill and sear each side for 4-5 minutes. You are looking for a good sear with dark grill marks on both sides.
  6. Reduce the temperature of the grill to medium-low (300 degrees F.) and continue to cook the steak with the lid closed for another 7-10 minutes.
  7. Make sure you have an instant-read thermometer handy. You are looking for an internal temperature of 130 degrees F for medium-rare. Don’t worry; the steak will continue to cook. Trust me; if you leave it on the grill until 135 F – 140 F, it will be overdone.
  8. Remove the steak to a cutting board and sprinkle Kosher salt on the top of the steak again. This added an extra bump of flavor to the steak. Allow it to rest for about 7 – 10 minutes. Place the garlic herbed butter mixture on top of the steak as it rests.
  9. Slice the steak into Β½ inch wide slices making sure you are cutting against the grain.
  10. Serve with your favorite vegetables, salad, or other side dishes. Enjoy!!
