The Snake River Farms tomahawk ribeye steak is thick and is rich with a high level of intramuscular fat or marbling. Each Blackâ„¢ steak is cut to accommodate the width of the rib bone making it two inches or more.
Ah the tomahawk. This large, bone-in ribeye includes the entire long rib bone and is rumored to have moved steak lovers to tears. The Snake River Farms American Wagyu tomahawk ribeye steak is the full ribeye including the delectable ribeye cap or deckle. It is the picture perfect centerpiece, ready for your next celebration or special occasion. This is a large, thick-cut American Wagyu steak and cooks beautifully using a reverse sear – bring the steak to your target temperature with an oven, smoker or grill, then add the sear the final crust on a smoking hot skillet. Try our cowboy steak, a thick-cut ribeye with a shorter bone for another tasty option.
Average weight: 2.5 pounds. The tomahawk is a natural product and the weight may vary by .25 poundÂ
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 Blackâ„¢ and SRF Goldâ„¢ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Blackâ„¢ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef.
SRF Goldâ„¢ 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.

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.
