Tomahawk Steaks

CharredApron · Mar 28, 2013

Today I was at the butcher and these 2 ladies were there for the first time. They were looking with awe at the offerings that were in the cases and ordered a couple of skirt steaks and then inquired about a huge piece of meat at the end of the counter. It was a Kobe Bone in Ribeye as I know it. They were pleased to hear that it was a Tomahawk steak as one of them suggested. They asked for one and it was put on the scale...Price $ 54.00 upon hearing that they asked for another, 2 of these behemoths were weighed out and came to $ 136.00 They were wrapped and paid their bill and then asked....what do we do with them. In my evil mind I thought Give them to me, that's what you do with them. Well I didn't say that out loud and then told them how to cook them. They asked me if I was professional chef and I told them that I was in a previous life, but I was now retired and suggested that they consult the Brethren website for more info. They were ecstatic and they told me all about the comps they had been to.
Just another fine example of the Brethren in action.

Bone in ribeye is just a plain old rib steak.I've never heard of a tomahawk steak.Who makes these names up?

boogiesnap · Mar 28, 2013

it's not made up.

The Tomahawk Steak is a Bone-In Rib Steak with the entire rib bone intact. This long bone is frenched (trimmed of meat and fat), leaving a beautiful presentation piece. The Tomahawk, being a Rib Steak, has the largest amount of intermuscular fat, making it the most flavorful steak. The Tomahawk is cut based on the thickness of the bone and is typically two inches thick. One Tomahawk can easily feed two people. The Tomahawk is cut from the rib section. The primary muscle of the Tomahawk is the longissimus dorsi, which is also the primary muscle in the Porterhouse, T-Bone and New York Strip.

That seems like a good price for about 4 pounds of Wagyu beef.

I can cut and post some B/I Prime Ribeye PRON tomorrow when I go to work.

You are right..... but these were Prime Kobe according to the Butcher. Hence my though of what she should do with them.....

not me. waaaaaay too much $$$$$$$$$$

CharredApron · Mar 28, 2013

Thank You. Your explanation was excellent!

CharredApron · Mar 28, 2013

BS, there are plenty of people here that raise cattle and own ranches. Maybe we could have a Throwdown and they could send each participant a Tomahawk to prepare in the cook. always thinking......

I was at Costco about a month ago and they had Tomahawk steaks. Identical but cheaper. I'm thinking it might have been $36/steak but they look awesome.

Prime Kobe doesn't exist, they would have been Wagyu, maybe, rarely, Kobe, or Prime, heck, it is not a bad price for Prime either.

Ask and you shall receive. I paid $103 for two so its about right IIRC. The most I paid for steak was for 41 day aged wagyu beef that comes around here once a year was $330 for three steaks weighing 18oz each. Honestly the best steaks I've had ever.

Now some tomahawk pron

Just to give u an idea on how thick compared to a beer bottle. I think it was 2 1/2 to 3" thick.

Now a pick of one of the Snake River Farms 41 day aged wagyu ribeye. Amazing steak had a texture of cotton. You only live once.
