The Perfectly Cooked Tomahawk
One of life’s most daunting moments is when you cut into a steak and it is not perfectly medium rare! This is why I have tried and tested this recipe many times to ensure that you no longer have to stress!
In the steak-world, there is nothing better than a Tomahawk or a Ribeye that is cooked to perfection. This recipe is fool-proof to ensure that you get that perfectly pink-inside steak every time using the reverse searing method.
Reverse searing is when you cook a piece of meat on a low heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 48-49 degrees celcius and then popping it onto a piping hot bbq or pan to sear the outside to get the golden crust.
A meat thermometer is a must for this recipe to ensure it is perfectly cooked, if you do not have one then you can pick one up from Woolworths!
Also, the perfect steak must be served with the perfect sides. I always served mine with my Duck fat potatoes & wedge salad - amazing!

Prep Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 75 mins
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients:
Tomahawk OR rib eye steak - around 750g - 1kg
Sea salt flakes
Pepper
Olive oil
Meat thermometer
Method:
Take your steak out of the fridge around 1-2 hours prior to ensure it comes to room temperature - this allows for even cooking!
Preheat your oven to 110c fan-forced
Rub some olive oil all over your steak, and then generously top with sea salt flakes and pepper. Ensure all edges are salted!
Place your steak on a rack that is then placed onto a lined baking tray. I use a baking cooling rack on top of a baking tray.
Place into the oven for 45 mins or until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 48-49 degrees celcius.
When it is almost ready, preheat your bbq or pan until it is smoking hot.
Let it rest on the tray until it reaches around 52 degrees celcius
Place on the bbq and cook for a few mins, constantly turning to get an even crust. Continue to check the temperature as you want to stop cooking when the internal temp reaches 53-55c for the perfectly medium rare steak!
Rest lightly covered with foil for about 10 minutes.
Slice, serve and enjoy your perfectly cooked steak!
