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.

Every part of this is interesting to me! First, I've never had a tomahawk steak, second, I've never reverse-seared - but I'm not surprised that it's a good way to cook a steak, and third, that gorgonzola!

The ribeye is my favorite cut of beef -- SO much flavor. I've never cooked a tomahawk steak (although I've had them) -- think it's time I do? I certainly do! Terrific post -- thanks.

Those steaks look absolutely perfect, Angie! I've never tried the reverse sear method as we always do our steaks outside on the grill but boy, I'd love to give it a try soon with results like that. The gorgonzola butter sounds so delicious too. Winner!

Yes! Bone-in means more flavor! The meat at the bone is the most flavorful. Perfectly done steak - nicely seared outside, and juicy succulent the inside.

Angie,
As a vegan, I can't really comment too much on this . But I'm sure that a meat eater would enjoy your photos and learning about that cut of meat. Have a great week!

I don't eat beef but from the look of it I can tell this is indeed a gourmet recipe. I can try gorgonzola butter for something else.

My husband grilled some ribeyes the other night, so I made the butter. WOW! It was absolutely wonderful. It added so much to the flavor of the meat without overpowering. Thanks Angie.
