Step 1
Remove tomahawk steak from refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
Step 2
Pat steak completely dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
Step 3
Heat 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add 2 tbsp oil to skillet and carefully place tomahawk steak away from you to avoid splatter. Sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until deep brown crust forms.
Step 5
Flip steak and sear second side for 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
Step 6
Add butter, thyme, rosemary, and garlic cloves to pan. Tilt skillet and continuously baste steak with foaming butter for 4-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
Step 7
Transfer steak to cutting board and rest for 10 minutes before serving. Spoon pan butter and herbs over top.
