Steve MillerTomahawk Steak
This is a "Tomahawk Steak". I've seen pictures of them on the internet but have never seen one in person. They seem to be very popular in Texas.
The local grocery store ran them at half price ($9.99/lb) for the holiday. Not an inexpensive steak even at that but something I have always wanted to try. This particular one is not quite 3 pounds. I'm going to reverse sear it with salt and pepper, with the final sear outdoors on cast iron.

Steve MillerSharon is not going to be home until late tonight so now I’ll make it tomorrow. Maybe for lunch.

HoraceLooks great. No different than any other ribeye though, other than the novelty of the big bone, so be careful you don't pay extra for the novelty.

MikhailohNice. I have not tried one either. Largely because I don’t need a 3 lb steak.
We decided on going out tonight. Awesome hickory roasted prime rib at The Golden Lamb.

Need has nothing to do with it. Besides, at 3# it’s more of a roast.

Excellent! And large/rich enough that we're going to get some three meals out of it. We liked it so much we went back to the store and bought a couple ore of the for the big BBQ blowout on July 4. Grandkid coming!
Here it is on the grill pan with the requisite amount of butter. I did it on the grill because it keeps the kitchen cleaner:
I used the finished temp recommended by the Food Lab for medium-rare but I think it came out just a little under. I'll go 135 -138 degrees next time:

Best part for crowd cooking is that total time on the grill is less than 5 minutes. The actual cooking is done in the oven and will hold until we are ready to eat.
