Tomahawk Steak

Egghead_Ty · July 2017

I picked up this tomahawk steak from my local butcher at Brattis Meat Market. I went with a smoke/sear cook method and it ended up being one of the top 3 steaks I've had in my life. I have the large size egg and the steak barely fit. I believe it was a 30oz steak and put in a 16oz ribeye for comparison.

First i seasoned it with some steak shake, black pepper, and salt. Second, set the egg for indirect at 225 deg. with a handful of mixed hickory/cherry chips. I also used a water/bourbon mix with ice in the drip pan. I smoked the steak for an hour and a half, flipping once at the 45 minute mark. Next I pulled off the steak and placed it a side for a quick second to remove the convEGGtor (or plate setter) and opened both vents to raise the dome temp to 500 deg. Finally I seared both sides for a minute and a half each at 500 deg direct. The steak came out a perfect medium rare, had a great mild smokey flavor, and a nice char/sear.
(I know I completely messed up and forgot a money shot please forgive me, I just got caught up feeding my face lol).

Thanks HurricaneEddie1! First time I'd ever seen this type of steak so I had to buy it. Also, I'm brand new to the egghead community and this is my first post so bare with me, they will get better lol
