Grilling is perfect for a hearty barbecue, and thick steak is perfect for grilling.
Among them, "Tomahawk Steak" is impressive and satisfying.
What kind of food is Tomahawk Steak, which is different from ordinary steak?
Tomahawk steak refers to a steak made by cutting out the center part of the ribeye, which is located between the shoulder loin and sirloin, with the bone and grilling it.
"Tomahawk" refers to the axe carried by Native Americans, and it was named after its powerful appearance like a large axe. Tomahawk steaks are usually around 1 kilogram in weight and over 5 centimeters thick, making them perfect for barbecues due to their satisfying taste and impressive appearance.
The ribeye, which is the base of the tomahawk steak, is a popular meat in the home of barbecues, America, and its popularity has been increasing in Japan in recent years.
As for the meat quality, it is characterized by a good balance of lean meat and fat, and it is soft and easy to eat. The price is also reasonable, and it can be said to be a cost-effective meat considering the quality and volume. Although it is a perfect tomahawk steak for a barbecue with a lot of volume, attention is required when cooking.
The meat itself is very thickly cut and large in size, so even if you cook it on a barbecue grill, it will not cook through if you just grill it over direct heat, and it will not be delicious. Therefore, it is important to sear the surface well and keep it warm to cook the inside.
Before actually grilling the meat, first, season it with salt, pepper, and seasoning. Then, grill the surface well, flipping it frequently to evenly cook and create grill marks on the sides. Once it has a nice brown color, wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for about 20 minutes. This will allow the heat to evenly distribute and result in a deliciously cooked meat.
After grilling, check the doneness of the meat by cutting a small portion from the center. If it is cooked to your liking, proceed to cut the rest. To fully enjoy the texture of a well-balanced tomahawk steak with a good balance of lean meat and fat, it is best to cut it to a thickness of about 1 centimeter.
In addition to the taste of the ingredients and dishes, the process of enjoying a barbecue is also an important aspect. In that sense, the visually impressive and delicious tomahawk steak is the perfect ingredient. Whether you grill it with your family or friends and eat to your heart's content, you will surely be satisfied.
In America, which is the home of barbeque, the tomahawk steak is a popular dish, but it is not yet common in Japan.
