What is a “Tomahawk” Steak?
Simply put, a Tomahawk Steak (sometimes dubbed a “Cowboy Steak”) is the impressive, extra-thick cut, deliciously marbled bone-in ribeye we’ve all been dreaming about for, well, pretty much ever. At 34 ounces of tender perfection, this is one steak that can speak for itself. Many believe that cooking ribeye steak with the bone in results in a richer, deeper flavor, and we’re inclined to agree. Even if for nothing else, the Tomahawk Steak with long bone in takes the presentation over the top. And what’s a steak without presentation? Exactly.
