Cook Time 40 minutes
Course Main Course
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 30oz tomahawk ribeye steaks
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Remove steaks from the refrigerator. Season generously on both sides with salt and let rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.
  • Brush grill grates with olive oil. Heat one area of the grill to high (you can use a charcoal or gas grill).
  • Season steaks with additional salt, if desired, and pepper and thyme.
  • Place steaks on the hottest side of the grill, searing for 3-4 minutes. Use tongs to flip the steaks to the other side and sear for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Move tomahawk steaks to a low-heat area of the grill to continue cooking until they reach your desired internal temperature, usually between 10-20 minutes. Remove from heat when a digital thermometer reads 120-125 degrees for medium-rare, and adjust accordingly for other doneness levels.
  • Rest at room temperature on a plate tented with foil for 5-10 minutes before serving.
