Incredibly tender and rich, grilled tomahawk ribeye steak, is basted in a butter and garlic sauce while grilling. Though this is an expensive cut of meat, you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to fire up the grill. But, you may want to have a friend join for the meal, for this beast of a cut.
Sometimes referred to as a “tomahawk chop” or “bone-in ribeye,” it is a ribeye beef steak specially cut with five inches of rib bone left intact. Just like a rack of lamb, the extra-long bone is French trimmed to make it look like a handle. The end result is reminiscent of a tomahawk.
Because this cut comes from the loin, it is highly marbled, super tender, and amazingly flavorful. Basted with a simple butter and garlic sauce, you don’t need to do much to this cut to make it great. Serve it with your favorite sides, like a baked potato, or enjoy it all by itself.
