Get ready to sink your teeth into the most epic Tomahawk Steak of your life!
Today, we’re diving into the world of premium cuts, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this juicy, tender, and oh-so-satisfying experience!

First things first, you’ll need to get your hands on a 3 1/2 pound Tomahawk rib eye steak. Yes, it’s a big boy, but don’t worry, it’s worth it!
Next, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. This is crucial, folks, so don’t skip this step!
Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 400 to 450 degrees F (200 to 230 degrees C). While that’s heating up, sprinkle the steak evenly and liberally on all sides with 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt and 2 1/2 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Don’t be shy, now!

Lightly coat those grill grates with oil or grilling spray, then place the steak on hot grates. Let it grill, undisturbed, until it releases easily from the grates, about 4 minutes. Flip, and repeat on the other side.
Continue grilling, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of steak registers 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), 30 to 40 minutes. Yes, it’s a bit of a wait, but trust me, it’s worth it!

Once it’s done, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then, run a knife along the inside edge of the bone to remove the steak from the bone in one piece; slice against the grain to serve.
And that’s it! Your Tomahawk Steak is ready to devour. Slice it up, serve it with your favorite sides, and get ready for the oohs and aahs from your family and friends!
