Tomahawk Steak with Garlic and Anchovy Butter

Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 1 x 700 g Coles tomahawk steak, sitting in room temperature for 1 hour

  • 1 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • sea salt and black pepper to taste 

  • 80 g Coles butter

  • 5 cloves garlic, skin left on 

  • 5 good quality anchovies 

  • 6 sprigs thyme 

  • 1 tbs flat leaf parsley, finely chopped 

  • 1 lemon cheek to serve

Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore

Method

  • Remove the steak from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking to bring it down nearly to room temperature.

  • Heat a BBQ grill to a medium heat and rub the oil and salt over the steak. Cook the steak for 8-10 minutes each side, or until the centre reaches between 50-55 degrees (C) if you have a meat thermometer, alternatively press with clean fingers to check the firmness to your liking. Remove from the BBQ and rest in a warm spot on a tray for 8 minutes. 

  • Heat the butter and garlic in a medium sized frying pan over a medium heat. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Add in the anchovies and thyme sprigs and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, or until the anchovies have melted. Remove from the heat and add in a few grins of black pepper, parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

  • Cut the steak away from the bone and slice into thin strips. Arrange the beef onto a serving plate and spoon over the garlic butter mixture. Serve with a lemon cheek on the side.
