Ingredients

Tomahawk Steak

3 lb Tomahawk Steak
3 tbsp Olive Oil

SPG Seasoning

2 tbsp Salt
2 tbsp Coarse Ground Pepper
1 tbsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

SPG Seasoning

Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder together in a container and stir to combine.

Tomahawk Steak

Heat the grill up to 450°F.
While the grill comes up to temperature, remove the tomahawk steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to the time you plan to put it on the grill to come to room temperature.
Brush on olive oil on all sides and then sprinkle the SPG mixture on all sides. Once the grill comes up to temperature, place the steak on the grill grate on DIRECT HEAT and cook for 3 minutes. Turn 90°, cook another 3 minutes. Then FLIP the steak and repeat by cooking 3 minutes and turn 90° and cook additional 3 minutes. Once the steak has cooked a total of 6 minutes on EACH SIDE move it to INDIRECT HEAT (that means that the steak is not in direct contact with the flame) until the meat reaches the internal temperature you desire. Medium rare: 130°F-135°F Medium: 140°F-145°F Medium Well: 150°F-155°F and Well Done: 160°F-165°F. Allow steak to rest 15-20 minutes before cutting into it to allow the juices to remain in the steak.

Notes

Steak Weight: The weight of the steak takes into account for the long bone.

Serving: A large steak like this can easily serve 4 people.

Allow to Rest: Always allow the steak to rest after coming of the grill to allow the juices to remain in the steak. If you cut it right away, the juices flow right out of the steak onto your plate.

Cook Time: The time it will take will depend on the internal temperature of the steak you desire. Plan for 30 minutes or so for a medium rare to medium as a baseline estimate. That will include the DIRECT and INDIRECT COOKING TIME which makes it sound so long.

Seasoning: Substitute other seasoning you would like but be careful of adding too much as you spent a lot of money on the steak so allow the flavor to come through.
