Grilling a tomahawk steak, with its impressive size and flavor, is a culinary adventure that epitomizes outdoor cooking on the Arteflame Grill. Follow this step-by-step guide to master the art of grilling the perfect tomahawk steak, ensuring a show-stopping centerpiece for your next barbecue.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tomahawk Steak (approximately 2-3 inches thick)
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Olive Oil (optional, for coating)
- Fresh Rosemary and Thyme (for aromatics)
Equipment:
- Arteflame Grill
- Meat Thermometer
- Tongs
- Aluminum Foil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tomahawk Steak:
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator at least an hour before grilling to allow it to reach room temperature, ensuring even cooking.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Moisture on the surface can prevent proper searing.
- Season generously with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Optionally, lightly coat with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.
-
Fire Up the Arteflame Grill:
- Clean your Arteflame Grill to ensure a pure grilling flavor.
- Start the fire early, allowing it to burn down to a bed of hot coals suitable for both searing and indirect cooking.
-
Grill the Tomahawk Steak:
- Sear the steak over the grill grate for about 2-3 minutes on each side to create a rich, caramelized crust.
- Move the steak to a cooler zone of the flat cooktop and continue cooking, using indirect heat, to your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare finish, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
-
Rest the Steak:
- Transfer the grilled tomahawk steak to a cutting board and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, enhancing its flavor and juiciness.
-
Serve:
- Carve the steak against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme for an added aromatic touch.
Tips for Grilling a Tomahawk Steak:
- Season Generously: The thick cut of a tomahawk steak calls for ample seasoning to ensure flavor in every bite.
- Monitor the Temperature: Using a meat thermometer is crucial for achieving the perfect doneness without overcooking.
- Let it Rest: Giving your steak ample time to rest is essential for a juicy outcome.
- High Heat for Searing: Achieve a perfect sear by utilizing the high heat of the Arteflame Grill.
Grilling a tomahawk steak on the Arteflame Grill not only delivers unparalleled flavor and tenderness but also turns your meal into an unforgettable culinary event. Embrace the process and enjoy the ultimate steak experience.
