Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steak with Blue Cheese Butter and Macadamia

Tomahawk Steak is a cut of ribeye beef that includes the rib bone, which, when cooked, adds a variety of flavour and succulence to the meat. It is named after the tomahawk axe that it resembles.
Traditionally you sear a steak over a very high heat, and then finish the cooking in the oven until the desired doneness. Reverse searing, which is the perfect method for cooking a medium-rare or medium steak, is the reverse of this process.
The reverse sear I am using here is a 2-step process:
1.) Slow-roasting the steak in the oven at 120C/250F for 30-40 minutes.
2.) Searing it in a blazing hot skillet (cast iron or heavy stainless steel) to finishing it off.

Gorgonzola Butter
  • 1x1-1.2 kg Tomahawk steak (or 2x600g cowboy steak)
  • Herb infused avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • Salt and freshly milled pepper
  • 50 g Macadamia nuts, salted & toasted, for serving
  • Fresh herbs, for garnishing
  • 100 g Unsalted butter, softened
  • 70 g Gorgonzola, crumbled
  • 1 clove Garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly milled pepper
  1. To make the blue cheese butter, add the butter to a bowl, stir in the blue cheese, garlic, thyme leaves and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep this butter at room temperature for serving.
  2. Lightly coat the steak with herb infused avocado oil (or olive oil) and generously rub the both sides with salt and freshly milled pepper.
  3. Preheat oven to 120C/250F. Place the steak on a wirerack set on a baking tray. Roast the steak for 30-40 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 50C/120F. Remove the steak from the oven. Tent it with foil and let the steak rest 10 minutes while you preheat your skillet.
  4. Heat a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil on high until blazing hot. Carefully place the steak into the hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and sear for another 1 minute or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, you want an internal temperature of 57C/135F.
  5. Generously spoon the blue cheese butter over the steak, garnish with macadamia nuts, fresh herbs and serve alongside your choice of sides. Unlike with other methods, there is no need to let your steak rest before serving as you already did that before you seared them.

CakeGlaze
  • 300 g Refined spelt flour + more for dusting bundt pan and berries
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/3 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 200 ml Kefir
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest
  • 200 g Raw sugar
  • 200 g Unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 Large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 250 g Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 50 g Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the spelt flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside. Add lemon juice to kefir and set aside.
  3. Mix sugar and lemon zest until well combined in a mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

  5. Alternate 3 additions of flour and 2 additions kefir, beginning and ending with flour, scraping the bowl between additions. Do not over-mix or the cake would be dense and dry.
  6. Toss the blueberries with about 2 tablespoons of spelt flour to coat, and gently fold them into the cake batter. Spread batter in the pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, rotating the cake after 30 minutes to make sure it browns evenly. The cake is done as soon as a toothpick comes out clean.

  9. Mash the blueberries in the lemon juice with a fork. Press through a sieve to remove the skins. Sift in the confectioners' sugar to the juice and whisk until smooth. Add more sugar if you like a thicker glaze.

Desserts made with peanut butter, tahini (aka sesame seed butter) are right up my alley, esp. when they are healthful and good for you like this fudge recipe which is refined sugar free, dairy free and naturally gluten free.

  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the peanut butter, natural tahini, coconut oil and coconut syrup.
  3. Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla paste.
  4. Spoon into the prepared muffin liners and chill for a few hours or until firm. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes and enjoy! The fudge can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

The Sweet Woodruff, a little aromatic plant growing in woods and near shady spots. In Germany, one of the specially delightful drinks ---- White Wine Punch/Maibowle (or Waldmeisterbowle, or Maiwein, or Maitrank) is prepared by steeping the fresh sweet woodruff and peppermints in white wine. They are drunk and enjoyed usually in May.
This no-bake cheesecake recipe is so creamy and delicious! A thick, silky smooth fresh German cheese and cream cheese filling in a buttery oat cookie crust, topped with fresh blueberries and a layer of sweet woodruff jelly. It’s an easy dessert recipe that will definitely please.
