How to Cook (Built for Thick-Cut Techniques)
Best eating: many prefer ribeye at medium-rare. Aim for a final internal temp of 125–130°F (pull a few degrees early and rest). See our Steak Temperature Chart.
1) Reverse-Sear (most control)
- Cook gently at 225–275°F on the cool zone (or oven) until ~10°F below your target.
- Sear blazing hot 60–90 seconds per side for a deep crust; render the fat cap by holding the steak on its edge.
- For precise timing by thickness, use our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.
2) Two-Zone Grill (charcoal or gas)
- Create a hot sear zone and a cooler finishing zone. Start indirect to warm the interior evenly.
- Finish with a hard sear over direct heat; rotate to avoid flare-ups and protect the fat cap.

3) Cast-Iron Sear + Oven Finish
- Sear in a ripping-hot cast-iron skillet 1½–2½ minutes per side.
- Transfer to a 300–325°F oven to your target temp; rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Carving
After resting, run a knife along the bone to remove the eye. Slice across the grain into thick steakhouse slices, then plate alongside the bone for dramatic presentation.
Pro Tips
- Dry brine: salt 30–90 minutes (or up to overnight, uncovered) for superior seasoning and browning.
- Mind the fat: render the cap by holding the steak on its edge during sear; move off direct heat if flames flare.
- Finish with butter: baste with butter, garlic, and herbs in the final minute for steakhouse richness.

Chef’s note: Treat the Tomahawk like a small roast—warm it gently to near-doneness, then unleash a fierce sear for that chophouse crust. Rest longer than you think, then carve.
