How to Smoke a Tomahawk Steak

I don’t know about you, but I love tomahawk steak. So, I’ve decided to teach you how to smoke a tomahawk steak. Tomahawk steak is one of the most sought after cuts of meat out there. Unfortunately, many people don’t know how to smoke it properly. To smoke a tomahawk steak, you need to cut the meat about a 1/2″ thick. Next, you’ll put it on a flat grill, and sear it on all sides. When it comes to eating the steak, the side you put the cut on is of little importance. I like to put mine on the outside, but that’s purely up to personal preference. Next, you need to pull the steak off the grill, and let it cool. After it cools, you’ll slice it in half, lengthwise. After that, you’ll put the steaks back on the grill, and smoke them over indirect heat for about 10 minutes. Now, your steak is ready to eat. And if you have any leftovers, just heat it in the oven for about 5 minutes, and you’ll have a perfectly nice breakfast, too!

Add the Tomahawk Steak

In the 1800s, travelers in the American west faced a seemingly endless supply of meat. The solution was to smoke the meat to preserve it.
Smoking meat was a big part of the cowboy culture and was a useful way to preserve and sustain food on long trips.
The earliest type of wood smoker was the cast iron cooker, also called a kettle. This had a lid that could be opened. It was a primitive version of the modern day smokers. The meat would be placed in the middle of the kettle, and hot coals would be placed on either side of the meat.

Make the Seasoning

The meat industry is pretty big in the U.S. In fact, livestock production made up 43% of total U.S. agricultural land in 2013. Although this seems like a lot of land being used to raise animals, it’s actually just 1.5% of all the land on the planet. The other 94.5% is being used to produce food for humans. So, by making a change to your diet, you can help reduce the demand for meat. Here are some fun facts about meat: A cheeseburger is made from about 75 pounds of beef. Approximately 25% of the world’s water is used for meat production. To produce just 1 pound of beef, more than 2,000 gallons of water are used. Also, to produce 1 pound of beef, it takes 2.5 pounds of grain. The average hamburger has about 230 calories, 30% of which is saturated fat.

Cut the Sausage Into Strips

To cut a smoked sausage into strips, open it up and cut the sausage into four parts. Remove the casing and cut it into strips about 2.5 to 3 inches long.

Put it in a large oven on heat and place it on the floor. Turn the heat up as high as the oven will go. Then, put the steak on the oven. In the next 10 minutes, lift the oven door and check on the steak. If the steak is ready, turn off the oven. If the steak is not ready, return the oven to heat and turn the steak until it is ready.
