Smoke the Tomahawk to 10\u00b0 Below Target Temperature<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For a medium-rare tomahawk, the smoking process should take about an hour on low, flipping once. Verify temperature using a meat thermometer and remove from the smoker at 10 degrees shy of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/steak-doneness-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">steak temperature<\/a>. You will finish the cooking process with a nice hard sear for a great crust.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an electric smoker, simply smoke the tomahawk on low. Check out the directions below to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/smoking-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">convert your gas or charcoal grill into a smoker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>How to Smoke on a Gas Grill (400\u00b0F using indirect heat)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">To smoke the tomahawk on a gas grill, you will you use the indirect grilling technique. When using this technique, place food next to, instead of directly over the fire. If using a gas grill with 3 or more burners, turn on one side of the burners and leave the others off. If using a two-burner grill, turn on one side and leave the other off. Adjust the burner until the thermometer reads 400\u00b0F.\u00a0 For that signature smoke flavor, place a smoking box or foil pouch of wood chips with holes poked in it over the burner that is ignited. Place the tomahawk on the grill grate over the burners that are off.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>How to Smoke on a Charcoal Grill (400\u00b0F using indirect heat)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Smoking a tomahawk on a charcoal grill adds incredible flavor and is easy to do. To cook on a charcoal grill with indirect heat, you will only have fire on one side of the grill and use the side without hot coals for cooking. To set up, arrange the hot coals evenly on one side of the lower grate and add wood chunks to the hot coals. Place a drip pan with water below the cooking grates opposite the hot coals to keep drippings from burning. Once the grill reaches 400\u00b0F, cook the tomahawk on the cooking grates over the drip pan opposite the hot coals to cook with indirect heat.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>How to Smoke on a Kettle or Bullet Smoker (250\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">To cook a steak on a kettle or bullet smoker, simply arrange hot coals evenly on one side of the smoker grate and add wood chunks to the coals. Place a drip pan with water under the rack. Allow to smoke for 10 minutes before adding the meat. Cook the tomahawk on the cooking grate over the drip pan (opposite the hot coals) to smoke. Close lid and adjust your air vents to get the smoker to maintain 250\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Tip: When using wood chips, soak them in water for 10 minutes before placing on the grill to reduce flareups.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/How-to-Smoke-a-giant-tomahawk-ribeye.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;hand placing a raw tomahawk steak on grill&#8221; title_text=&#8221;How to Smoke a giant tomahawk ribeye&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.

Place the tomahawk directly on the grates over the flames or on a hot grill over medium-high heat for a nice crust. For easy manipulation of the steak, allow the bone to hang off the side and use a heat-resistant glove or mitt to turn the meat.<\/p>\n<p>Cook to 5\u00b0F below your target temperature. We recommend cooking the tomahawk medium-rare to medium for the best steak experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rare:120\u00b0F<\/li>\n<li>Medium-Rare: 130\u00b0F<\/li>\n<li>Medium: 140\u00b0F<\/li>\n<li>Medium-Well: 150\u00b0F<\/li>\n<li>Well: 160\u00b0+F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>5. Rest the Steak<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Always rest your steak 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute for an incredibly tender and juicy bite. Once rested, feel free to grab the tomahawk the bone and enjoy as a giant meat lollipop! If you have to share, serve by cutting along the bone, then slicing the ribeye against the grain into 1\u201d slices. If desired, separate the ribeye cap for an extra special treat \u2013 that\u2019s the most tender, juiciest section of the tomahawk.
