Spicy Garlic Tomahawk Steak (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Steak Preparation

01 - 2 Tomahawk Ribeye Steaks, 2-2.5 inches thick (1.5-2.5 lbs each)
02 - 2 tbsp salt, pepper, garlic seasoning
03 - Olive oil for coating

→ Spicy Garlic Baste

04 - 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
05 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
06 - 1 shallot, finely minced
07 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
08 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1-2 tbsp chili crisp oil
10 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Pat the steaks dry, coat with olive oil, and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic seasoning. Let rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.
02 - Set up the smoker or grill for indirect heat at 225°F, using oak or hickory wood for flavor.
03 - Place the steaks in the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 115°F (rare), 120°F (medium-rare), or 125°F (medium), which should take approximately 1.5-2.5 hours.
04 - In a skillet, melt the ghee over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and shallot for 2-3 minutes. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and chili crisp. Set aside for basting.
05 - Heat a grill to high heat (500°F+). Sear the steaks for 60-90 seconds per side, basting continuously with the prepared garlic mixture.
06 - Allow the steaks to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the remaining garlic baste.

# Notes:

01 - Use a probe thermometer for precise temperature monitoring. Resting the steaks before slicing ensures optimal juiciness. Ghee's high smoke point makes it ideal for high-heat applications.
