Effortlessly Delicious Tomahawk Steak, Roasted to Perfection in Your Oven
Discover how to create a restaurant-quality Tomahawk steak right in your own kitchen using the oven! This recipe focuses on achieving a beautiful sear on the outside while keeping the inside incredibly juicy and tender. Perfect for special occasions or elevating an everyday meal.
Main Ingredients
- Tomahawk Steak, 1kg (A prime cut offering ribeye, striploin, and tenderloin flavors)
- Coarse Salt, to taste (for seasoning)
- Olive Oil, to taste (for a glossy finish and rich flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly patting the Tomahawk steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture or blood. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear and preventing a ‘gamey’ flavor. Generously season the entire steak with coarse salt, ensuring it’s well-coated as this will penetrate the meat during cooking. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the steak. This helps create a beautiful crust and keeps the surface moist.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 195°C (385°F). Once preheated, place the seasoned Tomahawk steak on a baking sheet or rack and roast for approximately 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your steak.
Step 3
You’ll start smelling the wonderful aroma of roasting steak filling your kitchen. Get ready for a delicious treat!
Step 4
After 15 minutes, carefully remove the steak from the oven and flip it over. At this point, add some roughly chopped onion and whole garlic cloves around the steak. These aromatics will infuse the steak with wonderful flavor as they roast. Return the steak to the oven and continue roasting at 195°C (385°F) for another 10 minutes.
Step 5
Your steak is nearly ready! Carefully take it out of the oven, and prepare it for the next important step.
Step 6
Instead of slicing immediately, wrap the steak loosely in aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period, also known as ‘blooming’ or ‘carryover cooking,’ allows the juices within the steak to redistribute evenly. This is the secret to a succulent steak where every bite is as moist as the last.
Step 7
After the 5-minute rest, your beautiful Tomahawk steak, featuring the impressive bone-in ribeye cut, is ready to be enjoyed. Doesn’t it look absolutely delicious? Time to savor!
