Description

Okay… if there’s one recipe that makes you feel like an absolute backyard legend, it’s this Smoked Tomahawk Steak Recipe. This is not your everyday steak. We’re using a reverse sear method, which means we slowly smoke the steak first, then finish it with a hot sear for that perfect crust. The result is juicy, tender, evenly cooked steak with incredible smoky flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large tomahawk steak about 3 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons steak rub or salt, black pepper, garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter


Instructions

  1. Remove steak from the fridge 1 to 2 hours before cooking
  2. Preheat smoker to 225°F 107°C
  3. Season steak generously on all sides
  4. Place steak on smoker and cook until internal temperature reaches about 115°F for medium rare
  5. Heat skillet or grill to high heat and add butter
  6. Sear steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a crust forms
  7. Rest steak for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing

Notes

Use a thermometer for best results. Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Season generously since this is a thick cut. Add melted butter on top before serving for extra flavor.
