Reverse-Seared Tomahawk Steak

A Steak Recipe Worthy of the Spotlight

Few things turn heads at a cookout like a massive tomahawk steak sizzling on the grill. With its long bone handle and thick-cut ribeye center, this cut isn’t just a meal—it’s a statement. The McLemore Boys bring it home with their signature reverse-sear technique, combining rich, smoky flavor with a charred crust that steak lovers dream about.

The secret? A low-and-slow smoke followed by a high-heat sear—all made simple with the Gravity Series® Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker. With precise temperature control and the ability to ramp up from 225°F to over 700°F with ease, the Gravity Series® is built to take on both phases of the reverse-sear with no hassle and full flavor.

“Smoked low, seared hot—this is how you do steak night the right way.”

Why the Gravity Series® Smoker Combo Grills are Built for Reverse Searing

The Gravity Series® combines the best of charcoal grilling and digital control, making it a go-to choice for any thick-cut steak. During the first phase of the reverse sear, it holds steady at 225°F to gently smoke the tomahawk steak over hickory wood, building rich, smoky flavor without overcooking. Once the internal temp hits the sweet spot, the Gravity Series® can then be cranked up to searing temps—over 700°F—to create that craveable crust in just minutes. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned pitmaster, this grill makes it easy to deliver restaurant-quality results at home.

Serving Suggestions

This tomahawk steak deserves the spotlight, so keep sides simple but strong. Serve it with garlic butter mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a fresh arugula salad. A chimichurri drizzle or smoked compound butter can take the flavor even further. Planning a gathering? One tomahawk serves 2–3 people generously—just slice it off the bone and serve with tongs at the table for an unforgettable backyard experience.

Instructions

  1. 01

    Set your grill or smoker to 225°F using indirect heat. Add hickory wood chunks for that signature smoky flavor.

  2. 02

    Brush the tomahawk steak with olive oil. Generously season all sides with kosher salt, followed by black pepper and garlic powder. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  3.  

  4. 03

    Place the steak on the middle rack of your grill over indirect heat. Smoke for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 105°F to 110°F.

  5.  

  6. 04

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, increase your grill’s heat to 700°F or as hot as it can get.

  7. 05

    Brush with another light layer of olive oil and sear directly over high heat for 2 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches medium-rare (about 130°F internally).

  8. 06

    Remove from the grill, slice the ribeye off the bone, and let it rest for 10 more minutes. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.

  9. 07

    Re-season the bone and sear it for 2 minutes more—serve it to your favorite guest… or keep it for yourself.

  10. 08

    Pro Tip: For an unforgettable bite, cut the bone off before searing, leave about 1 inch of meat, re-season, and sear the exposed cut for 3–4 minutes. It’s a chef’s treat worth savoring.
