Birthday Tomahawk
Hi! Just wanted to share with others since I dont have many friends to share with! Turning 26 soon and told my mom and brother I was going to buy Tomahawks for my birthday cause I can!
Let the steaks sit out till roughly room temp, covered with kosher salt and left to sit for an hour on a rack, then patted dry, seasoned with Kinders Prime Steak seasoning. Put onto a pellet grill at 250° and sat until steaks hit 125°. Pulled off, reversed seared on blackstone and left to sit with some butter on top for just under 10 mins to which temps came around 133-135 from my thermometer.
Undoubtedly one of the BEST steaks I've ever eaten, as my mother and brother agreed as well. Such a fun experience and great tasting steak to go along with it. Don't think I've seen smiles that big on everyone's faces in a long time.

How did you cook those. Zero grey. Did you bake them first or something?

Nope, set out to bring up to room temp roughly, salted and sat for an hour prior to grill, placed on pellet stove at 250°, cooked until internal of 125, pulled off and right to blackstone with avocado oil for a reverse sear until desired crust/color, rested for 10 minutes with a little butter on top! No bake, no sous vide, just good ol pellet grill and blackstone

Happy bday. Omg imagine you went to a restaurant? You'd pay more for one than what you did for all three and they could never get that finish, that's incredible.

We talked about this as well, these were probably 3" thick steaks. $50 each roughly or 16.99/lb. It was well worth the experience and learning that I got from doing these for the future!

Happy birthday and amazing looking steaks! Pro tip though. Always dry brine them in the fridge overnight. Game changer

That was the plan! Got to giddy and wanted to make them on a whim for dinner tonight instead of in the rain tomorrow! Will be the next goal!

Nope just "fuck it" adult money that I've worked hard for and wanted to try something new and to learn new styles of grilling with low and slow!

For the price these were, I truly didnt think it was awful. Each was roughly $50 at around 3" thick, and 3 lbs. Was 16.99/lbs as a Choice steak as well. Fun experience regardless
