Introduction

Here we use a reverse sear method for this very specific style of cooking, it's imperative the lump wood charcoal is of the best quality & is white hot before directly adding the steak. I Like to season after carving to taste as the butter will give extra deep flavour to the beef once charred. Alternatively, you can cook the steak to stage one in a low oven or water bath pre-charring.

Method

Remove your tomahawk steak out of the packaging, pat dry and bring to room temperature.
Set up the BBQ for indirect cooking on a low setting, around 100°C then insert a probe into the thickest part of the meat & cook until you reach a core temperature of 54°C then remove & keep warm, this should take around 20 minutes.
Next, fire up the BBQ for direct cooking, air vents fully open for extreme heat of around 300°C when the coals are white hot and sear the beef on all sides until nicely charred.
Remove from heat & smother with chilli butter.
Leave to rest in a warm place for half the cooking time before carving.
