The Tomahawk

[Henrik]

I managed to get my hands on a real nice tomahawk. The tomahawk is a ribeye steak with the rib bone attached, and the rib bone has been 'frenched'. It's a big fella, weighing in at 3.3 lbs (55 oz). That meant it it was a perfect candidate for the reverse sear method. So I fired up my offset smoker with oak wood, and smoked it for 1.5 hours, by then it had reached an internal temp of 131° F. So I moved it over to the firebox where I could give it a good sear. I let it rest uncovered for 5 minutes before slicing it.
It's a great steak with real nice beef flavor. All I applied was salt.

This is what it looked like when I had seared it



And here's the sliced beef. Yum!



That's it really, I appreciated the shorter cook time for once. Sometimes it is nice not having to get up early to get dinner ready 12 hours later :-)

Lordy!

[HorseDoctor]

Yup, that'll do!!! Congrats on a great cook!

A Tomahawk or Cowboy steak as it's known in some areas is unquestionably my favorite cut of meat.😜 No smoke flavor allowed! Just dry brined and then very freshly ground black pepper after it comes off the grill. Mmmmmmm.😋

Great lookin' steak.

Thanks! Breadhead, it didn't taste of smoke, since I only had it in the smoker for 1.5 hours, and with an exceptionally clean burn it takes a lot longer to get that smoke flavor in.

The downside with a steak like this is that you pay a lot of money for that bone...but it looks cool

[Breadhead]

The ONLY reason I buy Tomahawk steaks is because of my dog. Plus they look pretty in a picture with the bone in. I agree with Meathead who recommends saving the money by buying Ribeye without the bone, but I'd feel guilty not having that bone for my Buddy "The Boz".😎

Hey Breadhead I'd love to see a pic or 2 of "The Boz".
Don't know what I would do without my buddies.

Georgous! Not sure how expensive that was but they are pricey here. Costco had some real nice ones, $50 per steak.

[Henrik]

It was expensive, but I figured I had to give it a try once :-)

You know Henrik I just got back from lunch at work and saw this post. I wound up going through the rest of my day HUNGRY. Thanks a lot
Actually I'm still hungry. Nice cook my brother.

My buddy, Bozley, aka "The Boz".

[Breadhead]

You've got a good eye. He a labradoodle and he just turned 8. I've been asked a 100 times if he is an Irish Wolfhound... why? I have no clue. Me and The Boz... we connect. We don't even have to talk. We've got each other figured out. If he moves I know what he's doing, the same with me.

[JCGrill]

He can't be big enough to be in an Irish wolfhound league. People who have never seen one might ask. Great looking pooch, I miss having a dog, but I can't handle the responsibilities of one at this point of life.

[Henrik]

Great looking dog!
