Many consider our American Wagyu tomahawk the ultimate steak. With our special dry-aging process we’ve found a way to make this exclusive cut, even more elite and flavorful. Each long-bone, tomahawk is dry-aged for a minimum of 30 days. This item is dry-aged and ships fresh on gel packs; it requires 1 day shipping from our New York distribution center.
Our tomahawk steak is deeply marbled ribeye with a long, exposed rib bone is the star of many Instagram photos. Each of our tomahawk steaks is hand-cut to a thickness of about two inches. Dry-aging makes this rich and juicy ribeye even more full of flavor.
Snake River Farms dry-aged beef represents a higher echelon for our American Wagyu steaks. To achieve these extraordinary results, we utilize a proprietary system which controls and measures each step of the dry-aging process. Our partner, Prime Food Distributor, is vigilant about all factors from beginning to end. Lighting, airflow, humidity, temperature and cleanliness are carefully controlled to create an environment which produces the purest essence of beef. The outcome is a rich, full-flavored steak which provides a unique, pure eating experience.
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. Â
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 Label â„¢ and SRF Gold Label â„¢ both score above USDA Prime. Â
SRF Black Label â„¢ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef. Â
SRF Gold Label â„¢ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.Â
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 Dry-Aging?
We have partnered with the Prime Food Distributor out of New York to deliver a dry-aged experience unmatched by anyone in the industry. Their proprietary system carefully controls and measures every step of the dry-aging process.

All subprimals are aged to a minimum of 30 days and cut to perfection by master butchers.
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.
