The dry-aged tomahawk is a deeply marbled ribeye with a long, exposed rib bone. Each of our Double R Ranch tomahawk steaks is hand-cut to a thickness of about two inches. We’ve found a way to make this exclusive cut, even more elite by adding the element of dry-aging.
To achieve these extraordinary results, we utilize a proprietary system which controls and measures each step of the dry-aging process. All environmental factors are monitored and adjusted from beginning to end. Lighting, airflow, humidity, temperature and cleanliness are carefully controlled to create an environment where 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.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
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.
