Tomahawk Steak with Entrecôte Sauce

As the season turns and the grill comes back to life, this is the kind of recipe that earns its place at the center of the table.

@smokepointq takes the reverse sear and pushes it further: slow-cooked to temp, seared hard over fire, then finished with a rich entrecôte sauce built from butter, herbs, anchovy, dijon, capers, walnut, and lemon.

Slice it clean, let the sauce melt in, and settle in for steak night done right.

Watch It Come Together

Fire, smoke, and a tomahawk done right. @smokepointq walks through the full reverse sear—from slow heat to hard crust—finished with a rich entrecôte sauce that melts into every slice.

This is where technique meets the flame.
