Oven Temperature: 250°F (211°C)

Ingredients

  • Tomahawk

  • Sea salt flakes

  • Pepper

  • Avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Begin by setting your Traeger’s temperature to a toasty 250°F (211°C), allowing it to reach optimal smoking conditions.

  2. Next, tie the tomahawk steak with twine, ensuring its shape remains intact throughout the smoking process. Coat it generously with avocado oil and sprinkle sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper all over the steak. Allow the steak to rest and soak up the flavorful seasoning while the grill preheats.

  3. Once you are ready to cook, insert the MEATER Pro probe into the thickest part of the tomahawk, avoiding the bone. Whatever doneness level you prefer, your MEATER will have your back. For a perfect medium-rare, set your desired target temperature to 125°F (57°C) in the MEATER App and begin your cook.

  4. After inserting your MEATER probe, place the seasoned steak directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke until the MEATER App notifies you to remove it from the heat.

  5. Once you have removed the tomahawk from the smoker, allow your steak to rest. The MEATER App will also alert you once your meat has finished resting.

  6. Finally, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear both sides of the steak to crispy perfection! Enjoy with one of our recommended butter recipe. Bon appétit!
