Tomahawk Steak Rub Recipes

CHERRY-SMOKED COFFEE-RUBBED TOMAHAWK STEAK WITH GARLIC-HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with two zones, for direct and indirect grilling, by arranging the hot coals on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Rub the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle generously with the Coffee Rub. Place 1 cup soaked and drained cherry wood chips directly on the coals. Place the steaks over direct heat, searing both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Continue grilling, moving the steaks back and forth from direct to indirect heat as flareups occur, for 10 minutes, then turn over, grilling until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F, another 8 to 10 minutes. (If there continue to be flareups, place the lid on the grill.) Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice across the grain. Serve with Garlic-Horseradish Sauce and Lemon-Thyme Grilled Marinated Seasonal Vegetables.
• Combine the coffee, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, cumin, dried mustard, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, Creole mustard, horseradish, sugar, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Prepare a charcoal grill with two zones, for direct and indirect grilling, by arranging the hot coals on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Lightly grease the grill grates with oil. Place the asparagus, onion, bell pepper, yellow squash and zucchini on the grill over direct heat and baste with the dressing. Grill, turning occasionally, basting every 5 minutes and moving the vegetables to indirect heat as needed for flareups, 10 to 15 minutes.

GRILLED TOMAHAWK STEAKS WITH RESTING BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator, then sprinkle on both sides generously with salt and place on a wire rack over a sheet pan. Allow to come up to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill for two-zone cooking with high heat on one side and no heat on the other side. (The overall grill temperature should be 325 degrees F on the grill grates.)
• Using a paper towel, wipe off any excess moisture and salt from the steaks.
• Start the steaks on the indirect heat side of the grill. (The target grill temperature should be around 250 degrees F.) Cover and grill the steaks, flipping once, until the internal temperature reads 125 degrees F (10 degrees away from finished target temp), about 45 minutes to an hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, thyme, Worcestershire, a pinch of salt and some pepper in a small bowl. Spread one spoonful of the butter directly on your serving board underneath where each steak will be placed. Do this before you get your steaks on the grill so that when they come off, you can set each steak on a spoonful of the butter. Set aside the remaining butter for the top of the grilled steaks.
• Move the steaks to the direct-heat side of the grill and sear until the internal temperature reads 135 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place the steaks on the resting butter and use a fork to spread the remaining butter over the steaks. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
