How to Cook Perfect Traeger Pork Steaks

Cooking a tomahawk steak on your Traeger grill is a rewarding experience that promises a flavorful and tender steak every time. Follow this easy-to-follow recipe to impress your guests at any BBQ occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tomahawk steak (approximately 2 inches thick)
  • Meat Church rub (or your favorite steak seasoning)
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Garlic cloves, smashed
  • Butter

Equipment:

  • Traeger grill
  • Meat thermometer
  • Grill tongs
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Remove the tomahawk steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. This usually takes about 30-60 minutes.
    • Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps to get a nice sear on the grill.
  2. Seasoning:

    • Lightly coat the steak with olive oil. This helps the seasoning adhere better and adds a layer of flavor.
    • Generously season the steak on all sides with Meat Church rub or your favorite steak seasoning. Make sure to cover all areas of the steak for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the Traeger Grill:

    • Set your Traeger grill to 225°F (107°C) and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. This low temperature will allow the steak to cook slowly and evenly.
  4. Smoking the Steak:

    • Place the seasoned tomahawk steak directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 115°F (46°C) for rare or 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare. This usually takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak.
    • Use a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
  5. Searing the Steak:

    • Once the steak reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the grill and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest while you increase the grill temperature.
    • Increase the Traeger grill temperature to 450°F (232°C) or higher. Preheat for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
    • Place the steak back on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms. This high heat sear will give the steak a flavorful exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  6. Finishing Touches:

    • In the last minute of grilling, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, smashed garlic cloves, and a pat of butter on top of the steak. This will enhance the flavor and aroma of the meat.
    • Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful steak.
  7. Serving:

    • Slice the tomahawk steak against the grain into thick slices. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked tomahawk steak, full of rich, smoky flavor, and a tender, juicy interior. This method ensures a steak that's not only delicious but also a showstopper at any BBQ occasion.
