About this cut

What it is and how to use it

The tomahawk is a bone-in ribeye with the entire length of the rib bone left attached, trimmed clean so it looks like an axe handle. It is very thick and large, often enough for two. It has the same marbled, rich taste as any ribeye. Because of its size, it is best cooked slowly first and seared at the end, so the center cooks without scorching the outside.

Cook’s tipUse a meat thermometer. Roast or grill gently to near your target, then sear hard. The safe minimum is 145°F with a three-minute rest.
