The mighty Tomahawk Steak

[dysonman1]

Price Chopper had these wonderful steaks on sale for $12.99/lb. The first thing I did was to salt with kosher salt and refrigerate uncovered for a few hours until the moisture had melted the salt and it all went back into the steak.

Then, I baked the steak at 200 degrees for an hour and 10 minutes until the internal temperature had reached 120 degrees. Perfect medium rare is between 125 and 130 degrees.

After resting for fifteen minutes, I seared the steak in a very screaming hot cast iron pan. 90 seconds per side. Internal temp was 128. Rested under tented foil for 10 minutes so the juices absorbed back into the meat.

Rested Steak - perfect sear.

I added a compound butter with parsley and garlic. No steak sauce needed. The best steak I've had in a while. My husband, who doesn't eat beef, even said it looked so good he was tempted for a moment.

YUMMY! But far more than I can eat anymore... So how about leftovers? Greg

That looks divine. I'm jealous. Can't believe the price!! Meat doesn't come cheap here in vegas

Thank you all for your kind words.

My husband was taken off beef when he was a teenager. Something about it and his heart. I wasn't there. But he's never eaten beef since I've known him (8 years).

Yes, it was ALL for me. I made it into three meals. I ate 1/3 of that beautiful steak with some steamed broccoli. The next third I cut up and added to stir fry. The final third I sliced thin, put into a brioche roll, added provel cheese, put it under the broiler for a moment, and enjoyed my steak sandwich.

I'm always the one to check prices at the meat department, and I buy what is on sale. This is a treat I don't normally have.

Thank you Owen. I was taught very well by our mutual friend Hans Craig on the art of Southern Cooking. Gordon Ramsey's cookbook taught me how to cook a steak correctly.
