What Is a Tomahawk Steak?
A tomahawk steak is essentially an oversized bone-in ribeye with the rib bone left long and Frenched for a dramatic presentation.
The meat itself comes from the same prized rib section as ribeye, giving you abundant marbling, rich flavor, and a tender, juicy texture.
What sets the tomahawk apart is its combination of thickness, bone-in character, and sheer size.
USDA Prime Quality
This tomahawk is cut from USDA Prime Black Angus beef, the highest USDA beef quality grade.
Prime beef is selected for abundant intramuscular marbling, which is especially important in ribeye. As the steak cooks, that marbling renders throughout the meat, contributing richness, juiciness, and the deep beef flavor ribeye is known for.
For a steak this substantial, starting with Prime-grade beef makes a noticeable difference.
Pasture-Raised & Grain-Finished
Our Black Angus cattle are raised on pasture and grain-finished.
Pasture access allows the cattle to roam and graze, while the finishing program helps develop the marbling and consistency expected from USDA Prime beef.
The result is a richly marbled steak with clean beef flavor and reliable cooking performance.
Flavor & Texture
Tomahawk delivers the same profile that makes ribeye one of the most sought-after steak cuts:
- Rich, beef-forward flavor
- Abundant marbling
- Tender, juicy texture
- Deeply caramelized exterior when seared properly
- Richer finish than filet mignon or New York strip
The bone and substantial thickness also make this an especially satisfying steak to cook over live fire or on the grill.
A Steak Made for Sharing
At approximately 2 pounds per steak, the tomahawk is significantly larger than a standard ribeye.
It makes an impressive centerpiece for two people, especially when served with sides or as part of a surf & turf dinner.
Slice it tableside after resting and serve family-style for the full experience.
How to Cook a Tomahawk Steak
Because of its thickness, a tomahawk benefits from a two-stage cooking method.
Reverse Sear
Cook the steak slowly over indirect heat or in a low oven until it approaches your desired internal temperature, then finish over very high heat to build a deep crust.
Grill
Use a two-zone grill. Bring the steak up to temperature over indirect heat, then move it over the hottest part of the grill for the final sear.
Cast Iron + Oven
Sear both sides in a heavy cast-iron pan, then finish in the oven until the center reaches your preferred doneness.
For the best balance of rendered marbling and juicy texture, medium-rare to medium works especially well.
Allow the steak to rest thoroughly before slicing.
Why the Long Bone?
The extended Frenched bone is what gives the tomahawk its signature appearance.
It transforms an already premium bone-in ribeye into a true centerpiece—ideal for dinner parties, celebrations, grilling weekends, or any meal where presentation matters as much as the steak itself.
Tomahawk vs. Ribeye
Both cuts come from the rib section and deliver the rich marbling and flavor associated with ribeye.
Tomahawk: Oversized, bone-in, thick-cut, and designed for sharing and presentation.
Boneless Ribeye: Easier to cook and portion for an individual meal while delivering the same signature ribeye richness.
Choose the tomahawk when you want the ribeye experience on a much larger scale.
Perfect for Surf & Turf
The richness of Prime ribeye pairs naturally with premium seafood.
Serve alongside lobster tails, king crab, Hokkaido scallops, or colossal shrimp for an impressive steakhouse-style surf & turf dinner at home.

Cooking tips
Cooking tips
If frozen, thaw slowly, like overnight in the refrigerator.
The high fat content of the Ribeye gives a lot of flavor and best enjoyed at a medium finish, giving the fat enough time to render. Use a very hot pan (like a cast iron skillet) and sear each side for about 3 minutes.

The meat comes from the same rib section. A tomahawk is essentially a thick bone-in ribeye with the long rib bone left attached and Frenched for presentation.
Is this beef grass-fed?

What does tomahawk steak taste like?
Expect rich, savory beef flavor with abundant marbling and a juicy, tender texture. Its flavor profile is essentially that of a premium ribeye.
What is the best way to cook a tomahawk steak?
Reverse-searing is one of the best methods because of the steak's thickness. Bring the interior gradually toward your desired temperature, then finish over very high heat for a deeply browned crust.

Yes. A two-zone grill works especially well. Cook the steak over indirect heat first, then move it over direct high heat to finish with a strong sear.

Medium-rare to medium is particularly well suited to ribeye because it allows the internal marbling to soften and render while preserving juiciness.
Should I let the steak rest before slicing?

FAQ - USDA Prime Beef
What does USDA Prime mean?
USDA Prime is the highest grade of beef in the United States, based on marbling, tenderness, and overall quality. Only a small percentage of beef qualifies for this grade.
Is USDA Prime better than Choice or Select?
Yes. USDA Prime has significantly more marbling than Choice or Select, resulting in better flavor, tenderness, and juiciness.
Is all USDA Prime beef the same?
No. While all Prime beef meets minimum standards, quality can still vary based on sourcing, feeding, and handling. Well-sourced Prime beef will have better consistency and flavor.
What’s the difference between grass-fed and grain-finished beef?
Grass-fed beef develops deeper, more complex flavor, while grain finishing helps increase marbling and tenderness. A balanced approach delivers both flavor and texture.
How should I cook USDA Prime steak?
High heat methods work best:
- pan-searing
- grilling
- broiling
Allow the steak to rest after cooking for best results.
What temperature should I cook ribeye to?
For optimal flavor and texture:
- Medium-rare: 130–135°F
- Medium: 135–145°F
Avoid overcooking to preserve tenderness.

Yes. Vacuum-sealed beef freezes well and maintains quality when thawed properly in the refrigerator.
