Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Confit Butter: In a small saucepan, combine the peeled garlic cloves and enough olive oil to cover them. Cook over low heat for 30-40 minutes, until the garlic is soft and golden. Once done, remove from heat and let the garlic cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the cooled garlic (mashed) and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until fully incorporated. Transfer the garlic butter to a piece of parchment paper, roll it into a log shape, and refrigerate until firm.
- Prepare the Tomahawk Steak: Preheat your grill or oven to high heat (around 450°F or 230°C). Pat the Tomahawk steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush the steak with black truffle oil on both sides. In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Generously coat the steak with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat.
- Sear the Steak: Place the Tomahawk steak on the hot grill or in a large cast-iron skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust. If cooking in the oven, sear on the stovetop first and then transfer to the oven.
- Cook to Desired Doneness: Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C); for medium, 140°F (60°C). Continue cooking until the desired doneness is reached, which may take an additional 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the steak.
- Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Serve: Slice the Tomahawk steak and serve topped with a generous dollop of the roasted garlic confit butter. Garnish with fresh parsley and optional truffle shavings for an upscale touch.
Notes
For added flavor, consider serving with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
