4lb steaks! I’m thinking Reverse Sear?!?!?

Posts: 79
Picked up some faux tomahawks and tomorrow is the day to cook them. They are just under 4 lbs a piece, huge hunks of meat. I didn’t think to ask price before the butcher cut them for me, and I had sticker shock at the counter...$175
So im thinking the safest way to not mess this up is a Reverse Sear. I’ll have a probe in em til 100 degrees (wife likes rare), then sear them.
Thoughts? Any better ideas?

Good luck with them.

Beautiful steaks. I'd definitely reverse sear. I'd take the IT to 110-115 before resting, drying and searing for rare-MR. The meat by the bone will be rare. Enjoy the feast.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Great marbling on those proteins. Given that and the weight, you got a solid deal from your butcher. Reverse sear for the win. With a good instant read thermo you've got this. Enjoy the cook and follow-on eats.

They are definitely beautiful. Anything over 2# is in the roast category to me.Your cooking plan sounds solid.

I had to put my fat head in the pic for reference! These things are huuuge. Sounds like I'm on the right path with reverse sear, thanks for confirmation.jimdgreat1 said:What ever made you think we wanted a picture of you holding them?XL and a MM.

Those look great! $175 for 2 steaks? Is it a special occasion?

That's a lot of rib eye for 2 people. Enjoy. I agree, reverse sear is the ticket.
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

No why? Just our typical tri-weekly steak night. LOL.TEXASBGE2018 said:Those look great! $175 for 2 steaks? Is it a special occasion?
Actually, I wanted a tomahawk, had him cut them and never thought to ask price because people are always buying these steaks at Costco so they cant be too much. I had sticker shock when I got to the register.XL and a MM.

I’m sure glad they don’t charge 22 bucks an lb around here. Yikes.Highland, MI
