Of course, there are a million and one ways you could cook your pork tomahawk steak, but this is a simple and delicious method you will absolutely love!

Ingredients

600g pork tomahawk steak
30g butter
Sprigs of thyme
Sea salt
Black pepper
Garlic

Method

Remove steak from the fridge – ideally one hour before cooking in order to get to room temperature. Remove all packaging.

Preheat the oven to 190C.

Preheat 1tbsp oil in a frying pan over high heat. Do not use extra virgin olive oil – rapeseed, sunflower or vegetable oil is preferred.

Season the steak generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

When the pan starts to smoke a little add the steak (flat side down) for 1 minute.

Seal both sides of the steak for 1 minute each. Add one clove of garlic and a few thyme sprigs.

Add 30g of butter to the pan. As the butter starts to foam, baste the meat for a further minute, turning the steak halfway through.

Transfer the steak with garlic and thyme into a lined oven-proof tray and cook in the center of the oven, until the internal temp is 55c.

Remove steak from the oven and ensure the meat is piping hot throughout, the juices run clear. Transfer the steak, garlic, and thyme to a warm place and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Carve and serve!

 

Or cook on the BBQ – grill until golden on both sides and move to a cooler side of the BBQ then cook until the internal temperature is 55c (should take around 10-20 mins).
