Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 1 Tomahawk Ribeye steak
• Kosher salt

For the Smoked Sea Salt Black Truffle Butter:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon black truffle pâté or finely chopped black truffle
• A pinch of smoked sea salt

Instructions:

Preparing the Steak:

1. Dry Brining: Perform a 48-hour dry brine on the steak by sprinkling kosher salt liberally on all sides. Place it on a wire rack over a tray and refrigerate, uncovered.
2. Room Temperature: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C).
3. Torch Searing: Using a kitchen torch, sear the steak evenly on all sides until a deep brown crust forms. This process helps to lock in juices and create a flavorful crust.
4. Oven Cooking: Transfer the seared steak onto a baking tray or oven-safe dish. Place it in the preheated oven and cook until the desired internal temperature is reached: Rare: 120-130°F (49-54°C) Medium Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C) Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C) Medium Well: 150-155°F (65-68°C).
5. Resting: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Smoked Sea Salt Black Truffle Butter:

1. Mixing: Combine the softened butter, black truffle pâté, and a pinch of smoked sea salt in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until the truffle is evenly distributed throughout the butter.
2. Shaping: Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape it into a log or form using the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to secure it. Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until it firms up.

Serving:

1. Slicing: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thick portions.
2. Finishing: Place a slice or dollop of the smoked sea salt black truffle butter on top of each steak portion while it’s still hot. Let the butter melt slightly over the steak for added flavor.
3. Enjoy: Serve the Tomahawk Ribeye with the melted Smoked Sea Salt Black Truffle Butter on top. Garnish with additional smoked sea salt if desired. This dish will undoubtedly impress with its rich flavors and tender, succulent steak combined with the aromatic truffle butter!
