If you’re a steak lover, a 6-month wet-aged Tomahawk steak is as close to the Holy Grail of BBQ as it gets. With just the right seasoning and a perfectly grilled crust, it’s a simple yet satisfying way to enjoy a premium cut of beef.
Before anything else, make sure your Tomahawk steak is properly thawed if it has been stored in the freezer. Once thawed, it’s time to get your grill ready. Preheat your cooker to high heat - 600ºF (315ºC).
While the grill is heating, spray the grates with Duck Fat spray. This will prevent the steak from sticking, and also adds an extra layer of flavor. Also, use a small sauce pot to melt the butter. It will be used later to baste the steak, adding a silky finish to the meat.
As the grill reaches its optimal temperature, generously coat all sides of the Tomahawk with Kosmos Q Dirty Bird HOT, Texas Beef, and Cow Cover rubs. Let the steak sweat through the rubs for a few minutes, allowing the spices to penetrate the meat and set the stage for an incredible experience.
Once your grill is prepped and your steak is seasoned, it’s time to start cooking! Begin by placing the steak on the grill over indirect heat. You want the steak to cook slowly and evenly, and prevent the exterior from charring before the inside is cooked.
Keep an eye on the internal temperature of the steak using a meat thermometer. When it hits 110°F (43ºC), move the steak to direct heat and sear it for 30 to 45 seconds on each side. Rotate halfway through each side,
After searing, continue cooking the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 127ºF (53ºC). At this point, grab that melted Kerrygold butter and baste the steak generously. The butter will melt into the crust, giving it a beautiful finish. Once basted, remove the steak from the grill and place it in a disposable roasting pan. Tent the pan with foil, and let the steak rest for 10 to 15 minutes – this will allow the juices redistribute evenly throughout the meat, resulting in a moist, tender steak.
Once your steak has rested, carefully remove the foil. The crust should be beautifully seared, and the meat tender and juicy. Slice into the steak, pair it with your favorite sides, and you’ve got a meal that’s worthy of any special occasion.
