Sustainably Raised

The Double R Ranch tomahawk is a large, bone-in ribeye steak with the long rib bone attached. This impressive steak makes an impression when placed on the table. The tomahawk is the full width of the rib bone and measures about two inches thick.

This is a USDA Choice steak with generous marbling with the distinctive appearance unique to the tomahawk cut. This full ribeye includes the coveted ribeye cap or deckle. This steak offers all the benefits of a tomahawk at an incredible value.

Average weight: 2.5 lbs.

The tomahawk steak contains an abundant amount of marbling so it’s best cooked medium rare to medium to allow the intramuscular fat to liquify and distribute throughout the steak.

The reverse sear, heating the steak at a low temperature and finishing in a skillet, produces an evenly cooked interior. A final sear on a hot grill or a cast iron skillet creates a flavorful, savory crust.

Tomahawks are a favorite for grilling, but the high level of marbling will cause flare-ups. A two-zone cooking set-up (a direct heat side with all the charcoal and an indirect heat side with no charcoal) allows you to move the steaks to control unwanted flames. If using a gas grill, it’s easy to set-up two zones. Just turn on a burner on one side and leave the other one off.

Three major muscles are included in the rib primal. The longissimus dorsi, or large center eye, the complexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on where the cut is sourced, and the spinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribeye or deckle.

FAQ

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

Cowboy steak vs. tomahawk

A cowboy steak is a bone-in ribeye steak that features a short length of rib bone that’s been cleaned of meat and fat and exposed for presentation purposes in a process called “Frenching.” The tomahawk steak is also a bone-in ribeye steak. However, the Frenched rib bone on a tomahawk is significantly longer than a cowboy steak.

Where does ribeye come from?

Ribeye is cut from the rib primal which covers ribs six through twelve and is located between the chuck and the loin primals. This section has a high amount of natural marbling which is key to the flavor and juiciness of a cut. Looking for more tips? Our steak cooking guide has great tips on how to cook ribeye steak .

Is prime rib the same as a ribeye?

Prime rib and ribeye come from the same rib primal and share the same flavor, juiciness and tender profile. However, ribeye steaks have been further processed into steaks.

How to cook ribeye steak

For 1.5” steaks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of vegetable oil to the skillet. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place steaks in hot skillet and sear for 4 minutes, turning once. If a steak sticks to the skillet, it’s not ready to turn. Wait until it releases on its own.

Place skillet in a 350°F degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes depending on desired doneness. Turn once halfway through the cooking time. Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand. Remove from oven when preferred internal temperature is reached. Remove steaks from a skillet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. The steaks will continue to cook and the temperature will rise about 5°F. Learn how to cook any steak perfectly.

What is the difference between USDA Choice and Prime beef?

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Choice and Prime, respectively.
