What Is a Tomahawk Steak?
A tomahawk steak is a bone-in ribeye with the entire rib bone left intact and French-trimmed for presentation. The result is a massive, dramatic cut that resembles a tomahawk axe — hence the name. Typically weighing 30 to 45 ounces, the tomahawk combines the rich, well-marbled flavor of a ribeye with a stunning visual presentation that makes it the centerpiece of any steakhouse dinner.
Why the Bone Matters
The extended rib bone isn't just for show. During cooking, the bone acts as a heat conductor, slowly and evenly distributing heat to the center of the steak. This results in more even cooking and helps retain moisture. The bone also adds subtle flavor to the surrounding meat — a deep, savory richness that boneless cuts lack. When your tomahawk arrives at the table sizzling and aromatic, the bone is doing more than looking impressive.
Our 32oz Tomahawk Prime
At Blu' Steakhouse, our Tomahawk Prime ($200) is a 32oz USDA Prime bone-in ribeye, hand-selected for exceptional marbling. Chef Javi Cano seasons it simply with sea salt and black pepper, then sears it at high heat before finishing in our oven. The result is a perfect crust on the outside with a juicy, pink center. It's presented dramatically and is perfect for sharing between two — or for one very hungry steak lover.
The Wagyu Tomahawk Experience
For the ultimate indulgence, Blu's Signature Wagyu Tomahawk ($500) takes the experience to another level. This is the ultimate Wagyu experience with significantly more marbling than even USDA Prime, delivering a buttery richness that's unforgettable. It's our most-photographed dish and a true showstopper for special occasions.
Best Sides and Wine Pairings
Our recommended sides for the tomahawk include Truffle Parmesan Fries ($12), Wild Mushroom Risotto ($14), and Parmesan Creamed Spinach ($12). For wine, a bold Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic pairing — our sommelier can recommend the perfect bottle from our cellar. A craft cocktail from our bar is also a great way to begin the experience.
