Cape Grim: Ethically Sourced From Tasmania’s Purest Pastures
Cape Grim beef comes from Tasmania’s north-west coast, an environment recognised for its exceptionally clean air and rain-fed pastures. These grazing lands are free from pesticides and synthetic inputs, allowing cattle to roam freely and graze naturally.
Cattle are raised without antibiotics or added hormones and grow at their own pace through a calm, pasture-based system. This ethical and sustainable approach produces beef with a clean flavour profile and consistent quality you can taste with every bite.
What Makes the Tomahawk Unique
The Cape Grim Tomahawk stands out in every way, from appearance to performance on the grill. Here is what makes this cut one of the most sought-after steaks in Australia:
-
The Signature Long Bone: The extended rib bone is not just for show. It enhances presentation and also helps regulate heat during cooking, keeping the steak juicy and evenly done.
-
Cut from the Rib Primal: This is essentially a ribeye on the bone. Taken from the forequarter, the Tomahawk offers a naturally marbled, flavour-rich eating experience.
-
Generously Thick-Cut: Each Tomahawk is sliced thick, typically between 1.2–1.8 kg per steak, to preserve moisture, develop a crisp crust, and offer multiple doneness levels in one steak when cooked correctly.
-
Impressive Table Presence: With its sheer size and primal form, the Tomahawk brings restaurant-style drama to any home cook’s table. It is made for carving and sharing.
-
Grass-Fed Elegance: Cape Grim’s 100% grass-fed raising adds a clean, rich flavour that is less fatty than grain-fed alternatives but just as tender and satisfying.
Best Ways to Cook It Right
Cooking a Cape Grim Tomahawk is a ritual as much as a recipe. The goal is to let the meat speak for itself with minimal interference. Here are some top tips:
-
Bring to room temperature: Before cooking, to ensure even heat distribution
-
Season generously: With sea salt and olive oil, the simpler, the better
-
The reverse sear method works wonders: Slow-cook in the oven at 110°C until the internal temperature reaches 45°C, then finish in a blazing-hot pan or grill to caramelise the crust.
-
Resting: Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to settle.
- Slice against the grain for a tender bite and beautiful presentation
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve carved on a wooden board, family-style.
- Pair with a chimichurri, garlic butter, or smoked salt.
- Enjoy with roasted potatoes, flame-grilled corn, or nothing but a glass of red wine.
