Tomahawk Steaks are huge bone-in ribeyes. They’re cut off the loin and a long section of the rib bone is left attached to each steak. Now this steak is more than enough for one man, so you may want to find someone to share it with or you could tackle the whole thing if you think you can handle it (I know I can!!)

To kick off this beef party I apply a little beef broth concentrate to the outside of the steak. The concentrate creates a glue on the outside of the steak which helps the seasonings “stick” and it gives the tomahawk a fortified-beefy flavor. You can use olive oil or a little water as a binder; but I’ve been experimenting with the beef concentrate and I like the results.

I hit the outside with a little Killer Hogs Hot Rub http://bit.ly/TheHotRub followed by a good coating of my Killer Hogs Steak Rub http://bit.ly/TheSteakRub (you could use any seasonings you like on this steak). Once seasoned let it rest for 20 minutes.

I fired up my Gateway Drum Smoker for this cook but you can use any smoker. Royal Oak Lump charcoal and Hickory wood chunks provide the heat and smoke flavor. You want the pit running at 275°F. Once it’s up to temp and the seasoning has melted into the meat it’s time to start smoking.

Insert a probe thermometer into the center of the tomahawk for monitoring internal temperature - I used my Thermoworks DOT http://bit.ly/ThermoworksDOT . The last thing you want to do is over cook it. Also be careful not to stick the probe into a fat pocket. This will give you false readings.

Place the steak on the cooking grate and close the lid and monitor the temperature. About 10 minutes in I placed a small aluminum pan in the smoker with a melted stick of butter. Season the butter with a little Steak Rub and let it get happy. Once the steak has cooked about 20 minutes (around 100°F internal) flip it over for even cooking.

Start basting the steak with the melted butter when it hits the 120°F mark. Flip it over after a few minutes and baste the other side. As this point I left the drum open so the the butter will drip down and cause a little flare-up with the coals. The flames will give you a little searing action without burnin the steak.

As soon as I see the internal temperature get to 125-126°F it’s done for me. It comes off the drum and rest for 15-20 minutes. I left the probe in the tomahawk, so I could watch the carryover. It stopped at 130°F. I let start to fall back to 125 then it was time to slice.

The smoked tomahawk was cooked evenly across the steak - a perfect medium rare (Right where I like it). The hickory flavor combined with the seasonings and butter gave it a phenomenal flavor. I highly recommend trying this method for any thick steak.
