Tomahawk Steak from The Black Farmer

The Tomahawk steak is a show-stopping cut of beef known for its impressive size and flavour. This 900g Tomahawk steak features a long, frenched bone, giving it its distinctive appearance, similar to a Native American tomahawk axe. The cut is taken from the rib section, just like the ribeye, but with the entire bone left intact, which adds to its dramatic presentation.

What is a Tomahawk Steak?

A Tomahawk steak is essentially a ribeye steak with the bone left in, offering a substantial, flavour-packed cut with a rich, buttery taste. The bone helps insulate the meat during cooking, making it more tender and flavourful.

Why is Tomahawk Steak So Expensive?

Tomahawk steak is often more expensive than other cuts due to its size and the meticulous preparation required to retain the long bone. The extra weight and impressive presentation also add to its premium price tag.

Is Tomahawk Steak Better Than Ribeye?

Tomahawk steak offers the same rich flavour as a ribeye since both are cut from the same section. However, the presentation and bone-in feature make the Tomahawk steak a more dramatic and visually appealing choice, perfect for special occasions.

Is Tomahawk Steak Tender or Tough?

Tomahawk steak is known for its tenderness and marbling, which keeps the meat juicy and full of flavour. When cooked correctly, it delivers a succulent, melt-in-the-mouth experience.

What’s the Best Way to Cook a Tomahawk?

For the best results, cook the Tomahawk steak using a combination of searing and roasting. Start by searing the steak over high heat to develop a crust, then finish it in the oven to your preferred level of doneness. Let it rest before serving to ensure maximum juiciness and tenderness.

Cooking Instructions

Tomahawk Steak Cooking Instructions

Grill Method:

Preparation: Remove the massive tomahawk steak from the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This helps the steak cook evenly and ensures a juicy, tender interior.

Seasoning: Generously rub the tomahawk steak with olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. For added flavour, you can also sprinkle a bit of garlic powder and rosemary. This simple seasoning enhances the steak’s natural robust flavour and helps create a crispy char on the outside.

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. A hot grill is crucial for achieving a thick, crispy char on the tomahawk steak while sealing in its juices.

Cooking: Place the seasoned tomahawk steak directly on the hot grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness. Rotate the steak occasionally to ensure even cooking and to develop a beautifully seared crust. Aim for an internal temperature of 54-57°C for medium-rare.

Resting: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes under loosely tented foil. Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, enhancing its tenderness and flavour.

Serve: Serve the grilled tomahawk steak on a wooden board to showcase its impressive size and bold appearance. Add a side of roasted garlic for a sweet, mellow contrast, and finish with a dollop of herb butter to melt over the hot steak, enriching each bite with a creamy, herb-infused flavour.

Oven Method:

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or gas mark 7. Remove the tomahawk steak from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Seasoning: Rub the steak with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper, and add a sprinkle of garlic powder and rosemary for extra flavour.

Searing: Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot. Sear the tomahawk steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a deep, golden-brown crust. Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavour.

Oven Cooking: Transfer the skillet with the seared steak to the preheated oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on the thickness of the steak and your desired level of doneness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 54-57°C for a medium-rare finish.

Resting: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes under foil. This resting period allows the juices to settle, making the steak tender and juicy.

Serve: Serve the oven-cooked tomahawk steak on a wooden board with a side of roasted garlic and a generous dollop of herb butter. The bright natural lighting will highlight the steak’s rich, crispy char and the vibrant colours of the accompaniments, creating a bold and appetising presentation.

By following these steps, you will master the art of cooking a tomahawk steak to perfection, whether on the grill or in the oven. This guide ensures a beautifully seared exterior with a juicy, tender interior, ideal for a spectacular and flavourful meal that is sure to impress. Perfect for those looking to enjoy a bold and appetising steak experience, this recipe showcases the tomahawk's impressive size and robust taste.

Storage Instructions

To maintain the freshness and quality of your Tomahawk Steak, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 32°F to 40°F (0°C to 4°C). Keep the steak in its original packaging or place it in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to prevent any exposure to air or odors. Properly stored, the Tomahawk Steak can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. If you wish to extend its shelf life, you can also freeze the steak. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe container or bag. Frozen Tomahawk Steaks can maintain their quality for approximately 2-3 months. Remember to thaw frozen steaks in the refrigerator before cooking for the best results.
