Bold & Flavorful: Ribeye Steak 

Rich, juicy, tender and full flavored with generous marbling throughout the steak. These steaks can be quickly seared in a hot pan, grilled or cooked sous-vide style for a perfect temperature throughout. Serve with some sauteed onions and mushrooms and a slab of good butter.

Unique Options: The Tomahawk Steak

The most impressive steak when it comes to presentation. Like ribeye steaks, tomahawks are known for their generous marbling, which contributes to a rich and flavorful taste. The bone helps keep this meat juicy after it’s cooked. One steak works great for two people  served on a bed of roasted potatoes with a big hunk of garlic butter. Don’t let this steak intimidate you, sear it on a grill or pan and finish it in the oven.
