Instructions

  1. Pat the Wagyu tomahawk completely dry. Coat it generously on all sides with Jimmy P’s BBQ Beef Rub. Place the steak uncovered in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.

  3. Remove the tomahawk from the refrigerator and allow it to come toward room temperature. Preheat one side of your grill for direct, high-heat cooking while leaving the other side available for indirect cooking.
