  • 1tomahawk ribeye steak (2 to 2.5 lbs, about 2 inches thick)
  • 1 tbspKosher Salt
  • 1 tspcoarse black pepper
  • 0.5 tspGarlic Powder
  • 2 tbspAvocado Oil
  • 4 tbspUnsalted Butter
  • 6Garlic, lightly
  • 3 sprigFresh Rosemary
  • 4 sprigFresh Thyme
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the kosher salt, pepper and garlic powder. Rub it on all sides of the steak, set it on a wire rack and refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Take the steak out 45 minutes before cooking. Heat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Wrap the bone in foil.

  3. 3

    Insert a thermometer into the thickest part, away from the bone. Bake until it reads 120°F (49°C) for medium rare, about 45 to 70 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rest the steak for 10 minutes while you heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it just starts to smoke.

  5. 5

    Add the avocado oil and sear the steak 60 to 90 seconds per side. Hold it on the fat edge for 30 seconds to render it.

  6. 6

    Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Tilt the pan and spoon the foaming butter over the steak for about 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Rest 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the meat off the bone, slice against the grain, pour over the pan butter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
