Why Choose Our Tomahawk Ribeye?
- The Best of the Ribeye: The Tomahawk is essentially a bone-in Ribeye steak, celebrated for its rich marbling, buttery tenderness, and robust, beefy flavor. The long, frenched bone (cleaned of meat and fat) is left intact, adding a dramatic visual appeal and contributing to a deeper, more nuanced flavor as it cooks.
- Pasture-Raised Excellence: Our cattle are raised with care on lush pastures, resulting in meat that is not only incredibly flavorful but also reflects our commitment to sustainable and ethical farming practices. You can taste the difference that responsible husbandry makes.
- Built-in Flavor Enhancer: The bone itself acts as a natural insulator, helping the meat cook more evenly and lending a subtle, savory depth that enhances the overall taste profile.
- An Unforgettable Presentation: Its impressive size and distinctive "tomahawk" shape make it the ultimate centerpiece for special gatherings, celebrations, or simply when you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary.
Tips & Tricks for Tomahawk Perfection:
- Bring to Room Temp: For even cooking, remove your Tomahawk from the refrigerator at least 1-2 hours before cooking.
- Season Generously: A simple, coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper are often all you need to let the beefy flavor shine. Don't be shy!
- Reverse Sear is Your Secret Weapon: This method ensures a perfectly cooked interior and a beautiful, caramelized crust.
- Low & Slow: Cook the steak in an oven (225-275°F) or on indirect heat on a grill until it reaches about 10-15°F below your desired final temperature (e.g., 115-120°F for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer!
- High Heat Sear: Transfer the steak to a screaming hot cast-iron pan or direct high heat on the grill. Sear for 1-3 minutes per side, creating a rich, dark crust.
- Rest, Rest, Rest! This is non-negotiable! After searing, rest the steak on a cutting board, tented loosely with foil, for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.
- Slice Against the Grain: Once rested, slice the steak away from the bone and then cut against the grain into thick, shareable pieces.
- Enjoy! Pair this massive cut of beef with a baked potato, your favorite steamed veggie or pasta side dish and a robust glass of red wine and you have yourself a meal for any special occasion.
