Twin Akaushi Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye

in EggHead Forum
So the birthday was the 15th and my sister lovingly gifted me pure gold:  Certified Akaushi Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeyes.  If you're in the Dallas area Deep Cuts butchers sells this stuff (the beef ribs are to die for). So today is the day. 1 to cook, the other to age and cook later.  On the XL egg as we speak...

The marbling and texture of these is indescribable even over prime grade . About 2 inches thick.. pure heaven on a bone..

    Love deep cuts. When I want Dino ribs or wagyu steak that’s where I go

    That is one he!! of a gift, especially from a sister.  Better to be lucky than good any day.  Enjoy that banquet (and follow on). 
    I'm no dry aging expert but I would not plan for too much aging on the steak as it is relatively thin compared to the hunks of beef the dry-aged cuts come from.  FWIW-
    BTW- no pressure to deliver the end product  =)

    Now that is the way to bring it home.  Great crust right there.  Congrats on the cook and outcome.  Money shots tell it all!
    BTW- belated happy birthday.  You are fortunate to have a sister with such refined tastes.

     Agree 100%.. there definitely is not a large population in the world that would spend a few hundred dollars on steak. LOL

    I too, keep opening this thread just to take a peak.  I feel like I am cheating on my homely prime steaks.

    Ain't nothing wrong with a medium steak or even medium well.  Not every steak in the world has to be cooked medium rare.  Your steak looks awesome and if it was juicy and packed with flavor, you nailed it, no matter what the medium rare snobs would say!

    Nothing wrong with a well done wagyu or kobe filet that a 12 pack of Budweiser and bottle of ketchup can't fix.
