What is a Tomahawk Steak?
A tomahawk steak is a oversized bone-in ribeye. This beautiful cut of meat is typically “frenched”, which means a large section of bone has the meat and fat removed. The clean piece of bone looks just like a handle, making the entire piece of meat look like a tomahawk axe. Having a bone-in ribeye insulates the meat while it cooks, making your meat more moist and tender.
We age all of our beef for 21 days. This helps with flavor & tenderness.
Tomahawk steaks are known for being pricier than other cuts because of their large size, and thickness at at least 2 inches thick. They’re also just a great cut of meat; come see us & grab yourself a beautiful tomahawk for dinner tonight at Harris Meats.
How to cook a Tomahawk Steak
- Heat an outdoor grill to highest heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Use approximately 1 teaspoon of pink salt and fresh ground pepper per pound of steak. (Optional)
- Get the top, bottom, and all the sides. Use a generous amount of salt as this is a thick steak.
- Sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, letting the flames lick up the sides. You’ll know the steak is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grill.
- Transfer the steak to a baking sheet or a cast Iron skillet. Bake in the preheated oven until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees.
This will take about 30 minutes, but use a meat thermometer for 100% accuracy & always best to use. - Let rest 5-10 minutes. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of compound butter onto the steak. Slice & serve with compound butter (optional)Compound Butter Recipe
Combine butter, garlic, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well blended.
Serve & Enjoy!!!!
