Tomahawk Steak

edited June 2019 in EggHead Forum
Just for fun, I went out back to check to see if this rather large 2.75 lb. Tomahawk steak I got would fit on the small….um, NO GO~



That was OK because I looked up and saw a wall of rain coming towards me, so I was about to get soaked!



So I went downstairs and lit the large, since I knew the steak would definitely fit and I could be in the garage and out of the coming monsoon.

But first, a crab came for a visit.



He ran over to the plant edging to hide, but I could still see him, little bugger…

First on the egg, some summer corn, and then the tomahawk goes on~ 350 degree dome...






I had no idea how long to cook it for, so I just guessed.



Dinner is served… with Old Bay Key West pink shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, and a wedge salad with bacon and tomatoes and a homemade Ranch dressing ~ Oh, and I made a garlic parsley butta to top the steak ~



It was restaurant quality...And the steak was accidentally perfectly cooked!



Not too shabby...Thanks for lookin!
Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

    Simply perfect!

    I've seen that somewhere before. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    You are a brave woman to cook a $50 steak without a thermapen...I can usually tell more or less by feel/touch, but always like to measure twice and cut once.

    Very nice job.

    @smokingal - thanks for the compliment.
    I believe the crab is an Asian shore crab.

    Great looking meal, Faith!  So glad to see you back on the forum.  I was wondering where you'd been.  Always look forward to your creative cooks!  Hope all is well.
