    What's so special about a tomahawk steak?

    The tomahawk steak is basically a ribeye steak with about five inches of rib bone left intact. The bone adds additional flavor depending on how you prepare it. The long bone also gives it its signature look.

    How should I cook a tomahawk steak for best results?

    Aim for high-heat searing (or grilling) to develop crust, then finish at lower heat or in the oven until internal temperature is ~ 130–135°F for medium-rare, then rest. You could also do this in reverse—start the steak in the oven (or a smoker) at a low, controlled temperature then finish it over hot coals to build a sear. Each are valid, but cooking a steak this thick purely on the grill is challenging due to the thickness of the cut.

    How many people does a tomahawk steak serve?

    A 2-pound tomahawk is ideal for two to three people when sliced for sharing, making it perfect for a special occasion.

    Is a tomahawk steak more expensive than other cuts?

    Yes. Because of its size, bone-in nature, and premium rib primal origin, it usually carries a premium price compared with boneless cuts.
