Instructions
- Step 1: Season 1 tomahawk steak (2.5 lbs) generously with 2 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper on all sides, then vacuum seal the steak in a sous vide bag.
- Step 2: Preheat sous vide water bath to 129°F for medium-rare. Submerge sealed steak and cook for 3 hours.
- Step 3: Remove the steak from the bag and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Mix 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary and 5 minced garlic cloves with 2 tbsp olive oil and rub evenly over the steak.
- Step 4: Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter and sear the steak for 1.5 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms and garlic is fragrant.
- Step 5: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
