  • 2 medium shallots, small diced
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup pinot grigio
  • 1 lb. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced Calabrian chili

Tomahawk Ribeye

Instructions

Spicy Lobster Butter

  • In a medium saucepan on medium heat, add olive oil and sauté lobster shells until bright red on both sides, about 2 minutes.
  • Add pinot grigio and deglaze for about 2 minutes, then reduce by about half in volume.
  • Remove lobster shells from pan, add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, shallots, and garlic; sauté until fragrant and tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add minced Calabrian chili and sofrito and sauté for about 40 seconds.
  • Add remaining 1 lb. unsalted butter and melt; once butter is melted, poach lobster meat for 1 minute.
  • Remove lobster meat and coarsely chop. Place lobster meat, lemon juice and zest, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and chopped parsley back into saucepan.
  • Cook about another 2 minutes and season to taste with salt and pepper; serve warm with tomahawk ribeye.
  • **If you have leftover lobster butter, cool down to room temperature, wrap, and place in refrigerator; re-heat remaining lobster by bringing to medium heat until hot throughout. Use lobster butter within 2 days.

Tomahawk Ribeye

  • Thaw tomahawk in refrigerator overnight, remove from fridge, pat dry with paper towel, and allow to come to room temperature on counter; about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, liberally season tomahawk on all sides with Omaha Steaks Signature Seasoning.
  • Add grapeseed oil to 14” cast-iron pan and place on medium-high heat.
  • Place tomahawk steak in cast-iron pan and press down for about 30 second.
  • Sear steak for about 2 minutes and add butter to pan, then flip steak and butter baste for about 30 seconds.
  • Sear steak on fatty edges until lightly browned, about 20 to 30 seconds each side.
  • Lay steak down on unseared side and place cast-iron pan in oven.
  • Cook in the oven for about 8 minutes until internal temperature reads 125 degrees Fahrenheit; remove from oven and let rest on cutting board. Once fully rested, it should measure 130 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. (To cook to a higher cooking temperature, refer to the Omaha Steaks cooking chart.)
  • Slice tomahawk ribeye and serve with lobster butter.
