**Title: Herb-Infused Butter Tomahawk Steak – A Showstopper Steakhouse Experience at Home 🥩🧈🌿**
Whether it’s for a special occasion, a backyard grilling moment, or a weekend indulgence, this steak delivers that luxurious, restaurant-quality experience right from your kitchen or grill.
—
The **tomahawk steak** is a ribeye with the entire rib bone left intact, resembling a “tomahawk” axe—hence the name. The long bone not only makes for a striking presentation, but also helps insulate the meat as it cooks, resulting in a more flavorful steak. It’s thick, beautifully marbled, and built for lovers of bold beefy flavor.

#### For the Steak:
– 1 large **Tomahawk ribeye steak** (2–3 lbs, about 2 inches thick)
– Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
– 2 tablespoons **olive oil**

#### Step 1: Season & Rest the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 30–45 minutes—this helps the meat cook more evenly.
#### Step 2: Make the Herb Butter
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic, chopped herbs, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside. (Tip: You can also roll it into a log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for slicing.)
#### Step 4: Baste with Herb Butter
Lower the heat to medium. Add a few spoonfuls of the herb butter to the pan. Tilt the skillet and use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melted butter for another 2–3 minutes. This locks in flavor and moisture.
Step 5: Finish in the Oven (Optional)
If your steak is very thick and not yet at your desired doneness, transfer it to a 375°F (190°C) oven and roast for 5–10 minutes until it reaches your preferred internal temperature (see guide below).
