As the title says, I cooked my first tomahawk. Dry brined for two days, smoked it till 110 degrees then gave it a nice hot sear. Used a Weber 22 inch grill.

    Stand by for the “it’s way too well down crowd”, BUT, to me, that’s right on time ! AND first tommy? Whew. NAILED IT!

    Looks great! Only I personally would have cooked to medium rare myself.

    Amazing sear, a tad over for me, but would devour it nonetheless! Perfect sear > perfect temp imo.

  4. HedgeThis1

    Pretty solid cook. I am with a lot of others, cooked a tad to long

    I personally think it’s silly to pay ribeye prices for a pound of bone you cut off before serving.

  6. Let the meat rest longer, and cook on a slightly higher fire. Otherwise, great job 👍

    First rate, thats the rate you get! Way to go

    I would agree with some of the others: slightly overcooked. But that’s my preference. And honestly, I believe Tomahawk steaks to be a frivolous expense. I would go straight for a ribeye.

  9. Nothing to do with cook but seems marbling not the greatest with 2 pockets of fat. Bet still tasted great

    8. Not bad, maybe shorter seer period next time.

    No offense intended, but 6/10 for me.
    Something this thick, I would prob reverse sear- even if it’s in the oven instead of grill. Then sear flat on the hottest thing humanly possible that you own. Cast iron griddle/pan, ripping hot pizza stone, whatever you’ve got.
    Then you get the med-rare temp all the way to the edge w no banding, with nice even Maillard crust.
    Basically the way Ruth’s Chris and other steak houses “fire” steaks so quickly. One oven to hold steady below temp, one 1800* monster to finish.

    Try the reverse sear method to avoid overcooking next time

    That looks delicious! Everyone has there idea of the perfect steak but as long as you enjoyed it and it was cooked to your liking us all that matters. I think for your first one it was a great job 👏

    Excellent job sir. The reverse sear method may help you get a better edge to edge pink, but I’d still dig into what you got right rhere. Looks delicious.

  15. Who cares what others think/say. If you liked it and felt accomplished then great!! Cheers
