XXL TOMAHAWK ON FIRE

General:

• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cooking time: ~1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• Coarse sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 kg tomahawk steak (size matters!)

Tools:

• KLAUWE barbecue
• High-quality charcoal
• Meat thermometer
• A crate of beer (or two—hydration is key when grilling!)

Preparation

1. Heat your KLAUWE: Aim for a steady temperature of 150°C (300°F).
2. Prep the tomahawk: Bring the steak to room temperature, then generously season it with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 1: Indirect Grilling

• Place the tomahawk on the grill, away from the direct heat. Arrange the charcoal on one side of the BBQ and position the steak on the opposite side to create indirect heat.
• Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak.
• Cook the tomahawk until the internal temperature reaches 50°C (122°F). This will take about an hour, depending on the thickness of the meat.
• Remove the steak from the BBQ and let it rest under aluminum foil for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Direct Grilling

• Crank up the heat: Add more charcoal and fire up the grill until it’s blazing hot. Pro tip? If you can’t hold your hand above the coals for more than a second, you’re good to go!
• Grill the tomahawk directly over the coals for about 1 minute on each side. This creates a caramelized, crispy crust that’s simply irresistible.

Serve in Style

Let the tomahawk rest for a few minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor. Slice the steak and serve it center stage on your table—this is a showstopper that deserves all the attention!
