Ninja Woodfired Cooking

Haven’t seen it but…anyone do a tomahawk steak on their Ninja yet?

Just going to grill so no smoke etc.

It is pretty thick so thinking on low instead of medium like I normally do.

Why would cooking a thick tomahawk steak vs a thick filet be any different?

Haven’t done a thick filet either. Most of our steaks have been up to an inch and this is at least twice that.

I regularly cook 2" thick filets on low and monitor the temperature closely. Let the steaks sit out for at least 30 minutes to get closer to room temperature before placing them on the grill.

Yep, room temp always or close we do.

From what I’ve found will start on high temp to sear for just a minute or two each side, then turn grill to low and continue cooking until pulling at 120 to rest.

120 ℉ is where I pull also. Rest for at least 5 minutes.

Thanks for confirming. Local meat market had Wagyu strip steak and Wagyu tomahawks (think from Kentucky so prices weren’t bad).

Grabbed the tomahawk and don’t want to mess it up
