FOR THE TOMAHAWK STEAK:
- 1 Tomahawk-Steak approx. 900 g–1.2 kg, at least 4 cm thick
- 2 tablespoon of coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon of neutral oil for rubbing in
FOR THE ROSEMARY-GARLIC HERB BUTTER:
- 80 g softened butter
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
FOR THE ROASTED POTATOES:
- 600 g waxy potatoes halved or quartered
- 3 Tablespoon of olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves unpeeled, slightly crushed
- 2 Sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon of Fleur de Sel
- black pepper
PREPARATION:
Take the tomahawk steak out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before grilling so that it comes to room temperature evenly.
To make the herb butter: mix softened butter with garlic, rosemary, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; shape into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill.
Wash the potatoes, cut them in half or into quarters, and toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, fleur de sel, and pepper.
Rub oil all over the steak and season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
COOKING STEPS:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (convection). Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for about 30–35 minutes, until they are golden brown and tender inside—turning them once.
Preheat the grill to a very high temperature (about 300 °C over direct heat).
Place the tomahawk steak on the hot grill and sear it on each side for about 3–4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Move the steak to the indirect heat zone, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 54–56 °C (medium rare)—a meat thermometer is essential here.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 8–10 minutes.
Open the Cabernet Sauvignon 20 minutes before serving to allow it to breathe a little.
SERVE:
Place the tomahawk steak on a large wooden board and place one or two slices of herb butter directly on the meat so they melt in the residual heat.
Arrange the roasted potatoes in a cast-iron skillet or on a cutting board.
Pour the Cabernet Sauvignon into a large Bordeaux glass and hand the first glass to your father.
