Meat knowledge
What is a Tomahawk Steak?
The Original Tomahawk Steak is a heavyweight steak! It is characterised by its long bone, which gives the steak a real portion of flavour. Beautifully marbled and well done, it is a real 'man's steak' and the highlight of any barbecue party.
Perfect to enjoy and ideal for showing off! The interesting thing about it? A Tomahawk steak is very similar to the classic bone-in rib-eye, but it looks a lot better on the plate.
Let's talk turkey
What makes a real Tomahawk steak?
Definitely the impressive bone and first class marbling of the meat! What is also important here is perfect aging. This usually takes at least four weeks and the rule is: the longer the better! To achieve the Tomahawk cut, the front rib arches are cut differently.
This leaves the distinctive and characteristic bone on the meat. This also applies to chops or rib eye on the bone (also known as rib eye "bone-in"), but in this case the long rib is sawn off.
Trimming the bone takes time with a premium Tomahawk steak, but patience is well rewarded.
For the true connoisseur!
Perfectly cooked and aged to the highest quality, the steak has an intense dark colour, yet remains tender to the bite. In terms of flavour, the Tomahawk has a lot going for it, combining a smoky note with a mild nutty flavour. In short: Simply delicious, we would say!
Recommendation for cooking
Medium rare at approx. 53 °C core temperature
Quantity per person
One Tomahawk steak is enough for 3-4 people.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
