When you serve a Tomahawk ribeye, the response from hungry guests is usually one of astonishment. This cut of meat makes a fantastic presentation piece. Add a cheesy-mushroom sauce, and the aroma alone will have people coming to check on dinner. If you’re unfamiliar with Tomahawk steaks, it’s basically a ribeye. The only difference is that the bone remains in the meat. They’re big, REALLY big. On average, a 2” steak weighs between 30-45 ounces. You need a good appetite for this recipe.
