Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Remove the tomahawk steak from the fridge and place it on the counter to rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Using paper towels, gently pat the steak dry to remove any excess moisture.
  3. Drizzle olive oil all over the steak and rub it in to coat evenly. Sprinkle a mix of salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.
  4. Prepare your smoker by preheating it to 225°F and add wood chips.
  5. Place the tomahawk steak on the grate, bone-side down, and smoke for about 2 hours.
  6. Crank up the smoker’s temperature to 450°F and sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side.
  7. Once searing is complete, let the steak rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Slice the smoked tomahawk steak against the grain and serve.
