Dad's Superman Sunday Steak
Dad Got This attempts to recreate Superman's steak-cooking method, using a wireless thermometer to monitor the temperature of a massive Tomahawk steak. Following Henry Cavill's lead, the steak is smoked on a pellet grill and seared on a kamado grill for that perfect medium-rare finish.

Equipment
- Pellet Grill (e.g., ZGrills)
- Kamado Grill (or another high-heat grill)
- Rontronic Wireless Thermometer
- Smoker box and wood chips
- Tongs
- Meat thermometer
- Avocado oil
- Probe (for steak temperature tracking)
Ingredients
- 3 lb Tomahawk Steak Cowboy Ribeye
- Salt to taste
- Garlic Powder to taste
- Chili Powder to taste
- Black Pepper optional
- Avocado Oil for searing
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Generously season the Tomahawk steak with salt, garlic powder, and chili powder. Optionally, add black pepper for extra flavor.
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, allowing the salt to penetrate. (For best results, dry brine the steak uncovered in the fridge overnight.)
- Set Up the Grill: Preheat your pellet grill to the low smoke setting.
- If extra smoke flavor is desired, use a smoker box filled with wood chips and place it on the grill next to the steak.
- Monitor with Thermometer: Insert the Rontronic wireless thermometer probe into the thickest part of the steak.
- Set the desired temperature to medium-rare (about120°F / 49°C).
- Monitor the temperature of the steak and your cooker using the thermometer app.
- Cook Low and Slow: Smoke the steak on the pellet grill for about 30 minutes. Then, increase the temperature to 225°F / 107°C to cook the steak until it reaches the target internal temperature of 120°F / 49°C.
- Prep the Kamado Grill for Searing: About an hour into smoking, start your Kamado grill for high-heat searing. Wait until the charcoal is fully lit and blazing hot.
- Just before searing, apply a thin layer of avocado oil to the steak to help form a crust.
- Sear the Steak: Once the steak reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the pellet grill.
- Sear it on the Kamado grill, over direct heat, until a deep, golden crust forms (about 1-2 minutes per side).
- Rest the Steak: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the steak off the bone, and then cut it against the grain.
- Enjoy your Superman-inspired steak, juicy, tender, and full of smoky flavor!
