THE BASICS & BEYOND
The tomahawk steak is actually a rib-eye steak specifically cut to leave five inches* of rib bone exposed. This “frenched” bone gives the steak its unique look, which resembles a Native American tomahawk. As a bone-in rib-eye offshoot, the ultra-tender tomahawk offers tremendous flavour along with a distinctive, wow-factor presentation.

Interesting note
If your guests appreciate bone-in steaks such as the t-bone or porterhouse, they’ll love the tomahawk. The large exposed bone makes for a dramatic table presentation and provides an exciting experience for your customers.
