Instructions
- Season the Tomahawk steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the Tomahawk steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced leeks. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the balsamic vinegar and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the Tomahawk steak to the skillet, nestling it among the leeks. Add the chopped marjoram and cover the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low and let it braise for about 1 hour or until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
- While the steak is braising, place the diced turnips in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- Add heavy cream and unsalted butter to the cooked turnips. Using an immersion blender or a food processor, blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the steak is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices of the Tomahawk steak over a bed of smooth turnip purée, spooning the balsamic-glazed leeks on top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the steak overnight in a mixture of balsamic vinegar and herbs.
