Tomahawk vs. Ribeye
Tomahawk Ribeye is the same richly marbled ribeye muscle as a classic ribeye, but left on a long bone for added visual impact and heat protection during cooking. Choose Tomahawk for statement grilling and sharing; choose a standard Ribeye for everyday indulgence. Want ribeye plus filet on the bone? See Porterhouse.
How to Cook (3 Proven Methods)
Target doneness: Medium-rare to medium. Tomahawks are thick and benefit from gentle heat and careful temperature control. Use a fast, accurate thermometer and rest generously. See our Steak Temperature Chart.
1) Reverse-Sear (recommended for Tomahawk)
- Cook gently at 225–275°F on indirect heat until ~10–15°F below target.
- Sear blazing hot 60–90 seconds per side to build a deep crust.
- For precise timing by thickness, use our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.
2) Two-Zone Grill
- Create a hot sear zone and a cooler finishing zone.
- Sear first for color, then finish indirect to temp; rotate to manage flare-ups from rendered fat.

3) Cast-Iron Sear + Oven Finish
- Sear in a ripping-hot cast-iron skillet, standing the steak on the fat cap and edges first.
- Transfer to a 300–325°F oven to finish gently.
- Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
- Carve-and-share: slice off the bone, then cut across the grain for a dramatic platter.
- Bold finishes: compound butter, chimichurri, or flaky salt.
- Sides: grilled potatoes, roasted vegetables, creamed spinach, or a crisp salad.
Pro Tips
- Dry brine: salt 12–24 hours uncovered for superior seasoning and crust.
- Mind the thickness: Tomahawks cook slower—gentle heat first is key.
- Let it rest: longer rest ensures juices redistribute through the thick center.
Quality & Safety
- Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
- On arrival, move directly to the freezer or begin a controlled fridge thaw. Learn best practices in Meat Safety & Storage.
