The SRF Gold™ tomahawk is our top-of-the-line, long-bone ribeye steak. Each steak is cut to the generous thickness of the rib bone and has the most marbling available from our line of American Wagyu beef.
The tomahawk ribeye steak is a shoo-in for the “most photogenic” steak award. As you might guess from its name, each steak has a long rib bone in place for a dramatic appearance. This is an American Wagyu steak that is not just good-looking, it is also packed with juicy flavor from the high level of intramuscular fat it contains. SRF Gold™ is the top-of-the-line for marbling in the Snake River Farms line and these tomahawks deliver unrivaled richness and tender texture. The perfect candidate for your next important grilling session. Try our SRF Gold™ cowboy steak, a thick-cut ribeye with a shorter bone for another tasty option.
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 Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black™ and SRF Gold™ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Black™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef.
SRF Gold™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.
The tomahawk is sourced from the rib primal which covers ribs six through twelve and is located between the chuck and loin primals.
A full ribeye, like the tomahawk, has three major muscles. The longissimus dorsi, or large center eye, the complexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on where the steak is cut, and the spinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribeye or deckle.
The cap is universally known as the single most flavorful and tender cut. The muscles of the ribeye are held together with tender sinew with large swaths of rich fat between them.

What Is SRF Black Label and SRF Gold Label?
All SRF products are American Wagyu. We use the Japanese Beef Marbling Score (or BMS) to measure the marbling present in the beef. Both SRF Black Label and SRF Gold Label grade above USDA Prime. The SRF Black Label grades between a BMS 6 to 8, and the Gold Label is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+. Read about the difference.

For optimal quality, you can store your SRF products in the freezer for up to 6 months. Per USDA guidelines, if meat is kept at 40 °F or below, you can safely store thawed meat in the refrigerator for 7 days in its original cryovac seal. More details.
