Instructions:
Prepare the Steak:
Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Grill the Steak:
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side to develop a crust.
Lower the grill temperature to medium and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness:
Rare: 125°F (52°C)
Medium-rare: 135°F (57°C)
Medium: 145°F (63°C)
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Fry the Mozzarella Sticks:
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Spicy Sauce:
Combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and honey in a bowl.
Mix well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. To serve:
Plate the tomahawk steak alongside the crispy mozzarella sticks.
Serve with the spicy sauce on the side.
