Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steak with Salsa Verde

Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steak with Salsa Verde



When music artist Bonn E Maiy mentioned she loved steak, we decided to go big, tomahawk steak big,  just like her live performances.  We don’t think a great steak needs to be fixed up often, but there are those times when you want something different. So we decided to pair the rich, meaty flavor of ribeye with something fresh. After some time in our test kitchen, we came up with an Italian-inspired salsa verde. This provided a bold contrast with the smokey reverse-seared tomahawk steak while allowing it to still be the star of the show.

This is an amazing way to dress up your steak even for the most diehard purist. This recipe for a Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steak with Salsa Verde was created for our Feed the Band interview with Bonn E Maiy. want to learn more about her? Please check Bonn E Maiy’s full interview by clicking here.
