Buffalo Tomahawk Steak
Turn dinner into an unforgettable experience with our premium Buffalo Tomahawk Steak, a bold, bone-in ribeye.
Approx 1.5-2.0 lbs.
$32.99 per pound
Hand-cut from pasture-raised bison, this massive steak features a long, frenched rib bone for dramatic presentation. It’s the ultimate centerpiece for grillmasters, food lovers, and anyone who values high-quality, sustainable meat.
What Makes the Bison Tomahawk So Special?
Our Bison Tomahawk Steak is cut from the rib primal, with generous marbling and a deep red hue. Bison meat is leaner than beef, yet rich in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Raised without hormones, antibiotics, or grain-finishing, our bison roam regenerative pastures for clean, healthy, and deeply satisfying meat.
Cooking & Prep Tips
This steak is made for fire. Whether you're searing it over high heat on the grill or using a reverse-sear method for precision, the Bison Tomahawk delivers a tender bite and full-bodied flavor with just a touch of salt and pepper. Because bison is leaner than beef, we recommend:
-
Letting the steak come to room temperature before cooking
-
Cooking low and slow to medium-rare or medium (130–140°F internal temp)
-
Resting the steak for at least 10 minutes after cooking to seal in juices
-
Using a meat thermometer for perfect doneness
Reverse searing in the oven and finishing with a cast-iron pan or on a hot grill creates a delicious crust while preserving tenderness inside.
Perfect for Special Occasions or Backyard Bragging Rights
Whether you're hosting a celebration, gifting a true carnivore, or just indulging in a next-level dinner, this tomahawk makes a serious statement. Pair it with roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, or your favorite craft beer or bold red wine. It’s more than a steak, it’s an experience.

Whether you're searing it on the grill or reverse-searing for the perfect finish, the Buffalo Tomahawk Steak is made to impress. Perfect for special occasions or anytime you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary.
Tomahawk Steak vs Regular Ribeye Steak:
The Buffalo Tomahawk Steak stands out with a long 5–8 inch bone and thick 2–2.5 inch cut. Weighing 30–55 ounces, it makes a bold, eye-catching centerpiece for special occasions or impressive grilling.
In comparison, a regular ribeye is smaller, thinner, and more traditional in presentation. The tomahawk cooks best with a reverse sear, while a standard ribeye works well with a direct sear. Pricing reflects the premium cut, with tomahawks generally slightly higher per pound than standard ribeye.
Origins:
The tomahawk steak gets its name from the Native American tomahawk axe. Its long, frenched rib bone resembles the handle. While the cut is essentially a bone-in ribeye, its dramatic presentation has made it popular for centuries. It is often seen as a symbol of abundance, celebration, and feasting.
Butchers in the United States began highlighting the tomahawk cut more prominently in the mid-20th century. Diners were drawn to oversized, show-stopping steaks that made meals feel special and impressive. In recent years, it has gained more popularity in steakhouses and among grill enthusiasts. Its dramatic presentation and primal appeal continue to impress and draw attention.
For buffalo and bison, the tomahawk steak carries even deeper meaning. It celebrates the heritage of the American bison and the traditional practice of honoring the whole animal. Today, it represents not just a premium cut of meat, but also history, craftsmanship, and a shared meal. The tomahawk steak creates a dining experience that is both memorable and delicious.
Cooking Tip: Best cooked medium-rare for optimal flavor and juiciness. Let rest before slicing. See our Cooking Tips page for more ideas.
Shipping and pickup: You may pickup your order from our store in Warner, NH, or we offer nationwide shipping.
Tomahawks are available per piece, per package, per case and in your Meat CSA Subscription (per request).
