ChefXi OfficialA monumental bone-in ribeye with a deep, smoky crust, crowned with a melting disc of aromatic garlic-herb butter and served alongside charred garden vegetables.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Mix until smooth, then roll into a log using parchment paper and chill in the fridge until firm.
You can make this a day ahead to let the flavors truly meld.
Season the tomahawk steak generously on all sides with sea salt and cracked pepper. Let it rest at room temperature to ensure even cooking.
Don't forget to season the thick edges of the steak!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
Add the asparagus and vine tomatoes to the potato tray. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and roast for another 10-12 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
While vegetables roast, heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or grill to high heat. Sear the tomahawk for 4-5 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Move to a cooler part of the grill or finish in the oven until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
Use a meat thermometer; with a cut this thick, guessing is a risk you don't want to take.
Remove the steak from the heat and place a thick slice of the chilled herb butter on top. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is succulent.
The tomahawk is a statement piece. The key to this dish is the 'reverse sear' or high-heat finish to get that crust without overcooking the center. Let the meat sit at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before it touches the heat. Respect the lineage of the beef by using high-quality coarse salt.
