Tomahawk Steak | How to Reverse Sear a Cowboy Ribeye

#tomahawkribeye #reversesear #webergrill
Reverse seared tomahawk Ribeye on a Weber grill! Here’s how we cooked it.
We started off with a 3lb Tomahawk Ribeye. We trimmed off anything that stood out to us which wasn’t much. Made sure our bone was clean so it wouldn’t burn.
The seasonings we went with we’re Blues Hog Bold and Beefy and Killer Hogs Steak Rub. We put a pretty heavy layer of each because a steak this size can take it.
We then lit one chimney of Royal Oak Briquettes and set up a 2 zone fire in our Weber kettle.We let it stabilize at 300 degrees and added a chunk of Hickory Wood.
The cook! We put the Cowboy Ribeye on the indirect side (the side with no charcoal) and put our chef alarm probe in and shut the lid. We started a timer and flipped it every 15 minutes until it reached a internal temperature of 105 degrees. We melted some butter and put it on right at the end. We then took the steak off and very lightly covered in foil. We then took some Royal Oak lump charcoal and sprinkled on the existing coals to get a good hot bed of coals to get a good sear! We put the Ribeye strait over the coals for 1 minute then flipped it for another minute and pulled it when the steak internal temp reached 126-127. Then let it rest for around 15 minutes or as long as you can take it! Slice and enjoy the great flavors!!!

I'm grilling my first Tomahawk steak this weekend so I've been watching tons of videos, and this is by far the best! Very well explained and easy to watch. Looks incredible! New subscriber from Mexico City.

I agree.

[@markwomack6015]

Great video! He explains it well, and no BS, just cooking steak. A lot of clowns with more gimmicky approaches and 'fancy' editing could learn a thing or four from this guy!

Hi! I didn’t get to cook a tomahawk steak, but I did have a 2 inch 21/2 pound sirloin that I had no idea how to cook on charcoal grill. I tan across your channel and watched all the way through, and thought why not follow your video and maybe just have to make a few adjustments. That’s what I did, and if it wasn’t for your expertise of communication and your skills I would of had a burned outside and raw inside expensive piece of meat. It turned out great! Family enjoyed and I was proud of myself. Thanks very much for helping me through it

That's how I cook them also looks awesome. Last week I did a experiment on temps on my 26 kettle with indirect heat with 2 thermometers the one closest to the coals was 250ish and the one farthest from the coals was about 350. I kinda figured that there would be a difference between the two but I didn't think that it would be that much lol

Hi !! I Loved ur Video, just have a question, ive understood that you shouldnt flip that Much the steak, and you do it a lot. Whats Your Thinking on That ? Awesome Video Btw

Cooking over coals that hot you have to flip it a lot or you risk uneven cooking or burnt meat. If I’m doing lower temps I definitely don’t flip it as much. Thanks for watching

No expert here, but I like to wrap them in foil with butter garlic salt pepper to taste. After you near your desired temp I then open the top of foil and put under broiler for a nice sear on each side, usually only 2 minutes per side but you can look for the crust you want. But as the gentleman said bunch of videos online these days to get tips.
