We picked up some wet-aged tomahawks yesterday and decided to try cooking them directly over wood coals for the first time.

We struggled a bit with the grill height and probably charred the outside a little more than planned, but the crust turned out super crispy and flavourful, and the inside was exactly how we like it. Not bad for a first try (especially with thick cuts like these). ☺️

    Love this method. What I do is put the steaks adjacent to the flame and do a reverse sear method. Slow roast, South American-style, until the internal hits about 110. Remove. Stoke the coals and finish on direct heat with cast iron grill grate.

    Looks great! At what temp did you pull them off? How frequently did you flip?

    One of the best steaks I ever had was thrown right on the coals.

    Sorry, but for my taste the outside looks burnt.

    Nice cook, I use my wood fired oven to cook directly over oak and the flavor is off the charts.
