Halal tomahawk steak is from the same area as your typical beef ribeye (cut from the fore-rib), however it must meet exact specifications to be counted as a tomahawk steak. These specifications state that the steak must have at least five inches of bone still intact, which is left in during the cooking process for the impressive dining experience.
Tomahawk steaks can be cooked on the grill or on the stovetop, depending on what you find easiest. For both of these methods, you’ll first need to prepare your steak by bringing the cut to room temperature and patting dry with a paper towel before seasoning with salt and pepper.
If you are grilling your steak on the BBQ, cook over high, direct heat for five minutes on each side until the steak is a golden colour all over. Move to indirect heat and cook for a further ten-fifteen minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Measure with a Tom Hixson Meat Thermometer for accuracy.
For those of you who prefer to cook indoors, follow this method: Place your steak in a pan on high heat with oil and cook on both sides until a golden crust forms. Next, place your steak into an oven at 110°C and slow cook for around one hour, or until the steak is cooked to your liking.
It is important that you let your halal tomahawk steaks rest before slicing and serving, as this gives the steak time to absorb all of the flavourful juices produced during the cooking process. Serve your steak alongside chunky cut chips sprinkled with flakey sea salt, and pan-fried fresh vegetables.
No, not all Wagyu beef is halal. Wagyu beef can be either halal or haram, depending on how the cattle are raised and slaughtered. Halal Wagyu beef must follow Islamic dietary laws, which include the humane treatment of the animals and the proper slaughtering methods that involve cutting the throat and draining the blood. Not all Wagyu beef producers or butchers follow these methods.
Tom Hixson can provide detailed traceability records and certification for every cut of halal meat sold from our store. Find out more about our commitment to halal certification.
A tomahawk steak is a cut of beef that comes from the rib area of the cow. It is a bone-in ribeye steak that has been frenched, which means that the bone has been trimmed of fat and meat to create a handle-like shape.
The tomahawk steak gets its name from its resemblance to a Native American tomahawk axe. It is a thick, tender, and flavourful cut of meat that is best cooked over high heat to create a juicy and succulent centrepiece fit any discerning diner.
