Juicy, buttery, perfectly charred tomahawk steak packed with bold flavor, elevated by garlic butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large tomahawk ribeye steak (11.5 kg / 23 lb)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (generous amount)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove steak from fridge 45–60 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat dry thoroughly.
  2. Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to very high heat.
  4. Sear steak 4–5 minutes per side until a deep crust forms. Sear edges as well.
  5. Reduce heat (or move to indirect heat) and cook until internal temperature reaches: – 52–54°C / 125–130°F for medium-rare – 57°C / 135°F for medium.
  6. While steak cooks, melt butter in a small pan. Add garlic and cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant. Stir in parsley, thyme, and chili flakes.
  7. Spoon garlic butter over the steak during the last minute of cooking.
  8. Rest steak 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter before serving.

Notes

  • Always rest steak to lock in juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • Baste repeatedly with butter for extra richness.
