Ingredients
- 1 tomahawk steak
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
- to taste prime rib rub
Garlic Parmesan Compound Butter
- 1 stick softened butter
- 2 tbsp garlic
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 2 tbsp chives
- 1/2 cup parmesan
- a pinch salt
- a pinch pepper
Instructions
- 1Pat the tomahawk steak dry, rub it with extra virgin olive oil, and season generously on all sides with prime rib rub.
- 2Preheat a smoker to 275°F (275°F). Place the steak on the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches about 115°F (115°F). Remove the steak from the smoker.
- 3Increase grill heat to high, around 500°F (500°F). Sear the steak for approximately 3 minutes per side with the lid closed. When the internal temperature reaches 130°F (129°F), remove the steak and transfer it to a wire rack.
- 4Let the steak rest in an off oven (or a warm area) for 10–15 minutes.
- 5While the steak rests, prepare the garlic parmesan compound butter: combine the softened butter, minced garlic, fresh chopped parsley, fresh chopped chives, freshly grated parmesan, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper in a bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
- 6Spread a generous amount of the compound butter over the rested steak, slice, and serve immediately.
