Perfect Grilled Tomahawk Steak - Or Whatever You Do

Jump to Recipe

The tomahawk ribeye is what most people consider to be the ultimate steak. Sure, it is large and could even be described as slightly ostentatious, but when you have a perfect grilled tomahawk steak set in front of you, you aren't going to care much.

Grilled Tomahawk Steak

If you are trying to impress someone with your epic cooking abilities, even if you don't actually possess epic cooking abilities, there's really no better way to fool them than with a perfectly grilled steak.

Sure, the tomahawk steak is a little extra, with the giant attached rib bone you'll be handling, but sometimes that's exactly what you're going for. Plus, it is pretty on the socials too. 😉 (Psssst – if you are on TikTok, follow along with OWYD here!)

Serve this steak with a viral TikTok Butter Candle, or some fresh Persillade Sauce spooned over the top.

How to Make a Perfect Tomahawk Ribeye

This is just the overview so you can see what you're actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you'll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

1. Fire up the grill – We want super hot temps here. 600°+, if you can get there.
2. Season – Don't be shy. This is a big hunk of meat. Get it good with salt and pepper.
3. Grill – Ours took about 4 minutes per side to get to a perfect medium rare. Use the steak temp chart below to gauge when you need to pull yours, and make sure to use a thermometer for accuracy!
4. Rest – Don't cut into this thing before it has had a chance to sit for 10 minutes.

STEAK TEMPERATURES	PULL	FINAL

Grilled Tomahawk Ribeye FAQ

How do you store leftovers?

In a baggie in the fridge for a 2-3 days is best!

What's the best way to reheat leftovers?

These leftovers aren't too picky. Avoid the microwave if you can, is my only tip. The stovetop, in soup, sauteed with eggs, whatever.

Ingredients

• 1 tomahawk ribeye steak
• 1 tablespoon OWYD SPG

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to high heat. We're talking 600°+ here, so go for it! You can use whatever kind of grill can get you to those temps. We used our Rec Tec Bullseye.
2. Season both sides of the steak liberally with salt and pepper.
3. Place the steak on the grill and let cook. Flip midway through. We did about 4 minutes per side, but that depends on your grill temp, the weather, the temp the steak started with, and a lot of other factors. Use a thermometer for the most accurate steak temps.
4. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
