How to Make Tomahawk Scorpion Steak
Follow these simple, step-by-step instructions to create the perfect Tomahawk Scorpion Steak. Each step is designed to ensure you get the most flavor and tenderness from your steak.
Prepare the Finishing Butter
In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, chopped parsley, and kosher salt. Set aside to allow the flavors to combine while you prepare the steak.
Season the Steaks
Pat your Tomahawk Steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Rub the steaks with a generous amount of olive oil. Then season each side with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. The seasoning should be evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to 400°F for direct cooking. Make sure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the Steaks
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping occasionally. Keep an eye on the internal temperature, aiming for 110°F. This will prepare the steaks for a perfect sear. Make sure you develop a nice crust on each side.
Rest the Steaks
Once the steaks reach 110°F, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 500°F (you can also use a broiler or salamander grill if available). The high heat is perfect for finishing the steak with a rich, sizzling butter topping.
Sear the Steaks in the Oven
Place a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and add unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and thyme and rosemary sprigs. Once the butter is hot, carefully place the rested steaks into the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes until the butter is sizzling and aromatic.
Top with Finishing Butter
Carefully remove the steaks from the oven and immediately top each with the prepared finishing butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the steak for extra richness.
Serve and Enjoy
Let the steaks rest for 2 more minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Tomahawk Scorpion Steak!
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Suggestions:
- Presentation: For a show-stopping presentation, serve your Tomahawk Scorpion Steak with the bone exposed for a dramatic effect. You can slice the steak in front of your guests for added flair.
- Pairings: Complement the rich flavors of the steak with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. A rich red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, pairs beautifully with this flavorful cut.
- Sauces: Consider serving the steak with a béarnaise sauce or garlic butter sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Storage Tips:
- Leftover Steak: Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat your steak gently in the oven at 250°F to preserve its tenderness. For best results, place the steak on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and heat until warmed through.
- Freezing: If you have leftover steak that you’d like to store long-term, freeze it in an airtight bag or container. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat using the oven method described above.
