Introduction. Sycamore is a massive tree reaching 75 to 90 feet in height, has a rapid growth rate, and tolerates wet and compacted soil. The white bark peels off in patches and is the most ornamental trait.
Lay the tomahawk steak into the skillet and sear 1 minute. (Step back a bit since it will smoke and spatter.) Lower the heat to medium-high and cook the steak 5 minutes, without touching it. Using tongs and the bone as a handle, turn the steak over and cook another 3 minutes.
Place each halibut steak on top of a hot cedar plank and put the planks into a roasting pan large enough to hold them all side by side. Put the roasting pan into the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to the desired degree of doneness and the butter has melted into a browned crust. 1 1/2 to 2 pounds halibut fillet, all skin and bones removed. 2  Salt and pepper. 3  4 untreated cedar wood planks or shingles, 4-inches by 6-inches by 1/2-inch, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes.
