DRY BRINE

Pre-Preparation

The night before grilling, pat the steaks dry and season liberally with oil and salt.  Allow to rest in the fridge overnight to dry brine.

Step 1

Saute the Onions

Over a pre-heated fire, saute the onions in the butter.  Once they begin to brown, add the garlic and cook a little longer before deglazing the pan with Buffalo Trace. Cook out the liquid for a few minutes longer.

Step 2

Grill the Steaks

Add the tomahawk steaks to the grill and sear the steaks for 12 to 15 minutes, until they reach an internal temp of 120F.

Step 3

Grill the Shirmp

Once the steaks have cooked, pull them off the heat to rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whip up the crust by mixing the remaining ingredients in a bowl until it's a paste-like consistency.  Spoon the onions and cheese topping over the steaks.

Step 4

Serve

Take two non-stick aluminum foil sheets and cover the steaks.  Grabbing some coals from the fire with heat-proof gloves and long tongs, add the coals right on top of the foil, where you know the cheese crust is, in order to broil. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Serve

Allow the steaks to rest before serving to lock in the flavors. 

Step 4

Serve

Once done, sliced your steaks, pour some more Buffalo Trace.  Serve & enjoy!
