Here I have a beautiful Tomahawk Steak.
Different companies have different measurements to call a steak a tomahawk.
For me in order for a steak to be called a tomahawk the bone must be at least 7 inches
long and anything in between two inches and 7 inches is a long bone bone in ribeye.
You have to remember you are paying for the bone.
And if you ask me if bone adds any flavor to it, absolutely not however it does make
a beautiful steak.
So here is my recommendation if you are making a steak for you to eat it, forget the bone.
You don't need to make it pretty, you just need to make it delicious.
And in order to do that you are looking for intramuscular fat, that's these little white
spots there are throughout the meat.
As it's cooking that will render and make it amazing . The bone is just for show.
And if I'm cooking to impress the tomahawk is the most beautiful steak of them all.
If you want to keep a beautiful presentation it is important to tie it.
If you don't the ribeye cap will separate from the steak.
Since this is a wagyu marbling score 3 it is super tender and the fat almost melt on
contact.
It doesn't need to be too tight you just want to make sure it doesn't come off during the
searing process.
When you have a wonderful high grade steak like this you want to taste the meat.
Keeping the seasoning simple is extremely important.
So with that being said I added salt, freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder.
To go along with our surf and turf I am also going to be making an awesome little side
dish.
They are easy to make and packed with flavor.
They are little golden, crispy fried onions that just taste amazing.
And here's how to make them.
Start by chopping up white sweet onions.
I don't like mine too thick, but if you do that's totally ok.
The most important thing is to keep them all the same size.
If you don't they will not cook evenly and you want every bite to be perfect.
To make them flavorful we must season our flour.
So I started by adding smoked paprika, a good amount of garlic powder, freshly ground black
pepper and salt.
Remember as always exact amount and ingredients always on the description down below.
Once everything was mixed and combined together my seasoned flour is done.
The first step in making crispy onions is to boil some water.
I like to quickly throw them in for 10 to 15 seconds.
That does two things; remove some of the bitterness, and it also makes it crispier.
Then you want to give them some time to completely cool down.
If you have the time also consider throwing them in an ice bath once they have been boiled,
that will make it even extra crispier.
After throwing them in a bowl I added cold milk.
You can also use buttermilk.
Stir them around and make sure that every one is coated.
Now you really want to let it rest in your refrigerator for at least one hour, this will
really help with the flavor.
Once that's done the next step is pretty straight forward.
You just gotta throw them in your seasoned flour and bread them.
You want to do it in batches, try to avoid the big lumps.
The perfect tool for the job is using these kitchen tweezers lay them all in the tray
and they will be ready to be deep fried.
Which I'll be doing it shortly until I get a nice golden brown color at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
To go along with our steak I'm gonna be making some flavor packed shrimp, and they are super
easy to make and here's how.
This is about 2 pounds of shrimp.
Whenever you're purchasing it try to get it already cleaned.
And when I say clean, here's what I mean; they're out of their shell, completely deveined
and no head.
This will make the job quick and easy and there's nothing wrong with that.
To season them I threw in a little bit of grape seed oil.
You don't want to use extra virgin olive oil.
Grape seed oil has a smoke point of over 420 degrees Fahrenheit and extra virgin olive
oil is way lower than that.
Since we are going to be grilling them, that's a bad idea and you don't want your oil to
burn.
Then I threw in the perfect seasoning for it, it's Guga's rub.
You can't buy this rub, you have to make it.
I made a complete separate video which I'll be linking down below for you.
This rub goes well with chicken, pork and seafood.
And you might already have all the ingredients on your pantry.
Make sure to season everything well.
You want the shrimp to be packed with flavors.
If you're gonna be using wood skewers my recommendation is to soak them.
If you don't they will definitely burn on the grill.
They are not my number one choice to use but they do work just fine.
Here's the one I recommend, they are stainless steel and they will last you a lifetime.
Since they are not round it also makes it easy to flip them on the grill.
Putting them on the skewer is very easy the only thing to keep in mind is to keep them
all in the same direction.
That will save space on your grill and most important make it easy for you to move it
around.
To add even more flavor on this shrimp I'm going to be grilling some lemons and limes.
When you do that they become sweeter.
It is something that I defiantly recommend for seafood.
Not only with shrimp but also with fish and lobster.
It's the perfect marriage.
I also did my famous garlic butter.
I've made a complete different video explaining how to make it step by step.
It is easy to make and make sure you check it out on the description below later on.
I'll be using this to baste my shrimp and also my beautiful steak.
Talking about steak, I'm gonna be using my wireless thermometer to cook it.
My first goal is to put a nice sear, then cook it in indirect heat until I reach 135
degrees farenheit.
But now I say it is enough talking and it is time to make an amazing surf and turf.
So let's do it!
Alright Angel What do you think about this beauty?
Now I know why you took so long.
Damn.
This is a feast everybody.
Oh yea!
What do you think about that?
Well we got a lot of things going on I know you want to try it.
I think ah, so we have a beautiful wagyu tomahawk, and then we have a nice lemony shrimp and
we have a beautiful fried onions.
Ok enough talking yeah?
Alright Angel, let's try the steak first.
Ah the steak is cuts like butter everybody.
Like butter.
As you can see perfectly medium rare just like the way I like it.
And so do you right Angel?
Cheers buddy!.
Cheers!
Humm.
Wagyu tomahawk marbling score number 3 everybody.
If you never experienced it you have to try it everybody I'm telling you.
You will thank me later.
If you never been to heaven and came back to earth and then went back to heaven again,
then that is exactly what this tomahawk tastes like yeah.
I have to agree with you.
The fried onions give a nice crunch to the steak everybody this is unbelievable.
Let me give it a go with the shrimp because I think seafood and steak goes together so well
And I'm a seafood lover believe it or not.
Lover?
Lover.
Angel is not a big shrimp guy.
Right Angel?
I'am not a big shrimp guy at all.
Angel a little bit of the shrimp, a little bit of the wagyu tomahawk and combine it look
at me combine it with a little bit of the fried onions, put it in one bit my friend.
You tell me that combination.
Oh you got, ha ha.
I don't see it happening in my forecast.
I really don't.
Alright Angel.
All at once everything combined in one bite everybody.
Cheers!
Just a moment of silence.
Well, if I'm gonna be honest.
Yes.
I like it!
It's good!
You have to always be honest.
If you like it, you like it, if you hate it you hate it.
I don't know maybe it's because there's some wagyu involved.... in that combination.
But it is pretty good.
You got me to say that I enjoyed the shrimp and I am going for it again.
I know that you are not a shrimp lover.
Oh you are going for it again?
But you should take out the tail, don't eat the tail.
Tail is bad?
Tail is kind of hard and I don't know if you'll enjoy it.
Just like when we made the lobster you are not a big lobster guy either but you enjoyed
it when you combine everything together.
Aha.
It's like a perfect combination.
And these little fried onions...I don't know if they can hear it in the mic but it's nice
and crunch.
I think they can hear it.
You think they can hear?
I don't like onions either.
And you like that!
I'm always eating everything.
He does not like onions, he does not like shrimp, but the way everything was cooked
you enjoyed it.
I'm surprised because I really didn't think you were gonna like the shrimp.
Surprise, surprise.
Good job!
Everything's good I can't hesitate right now, I gotta eat.
You have to try everything once.
You know just because you had an experience of a shrimp before that was kind of bad whatever,
you know, you don't know how this one would taste.
And I'm proud of you buddy, and you liked the onion.
I like the onion bro.
The onion is really good.
