The two ribeye cuts look very similar but are not the same. Tomahawk ribeye steaks have a longer (frenched) bone, whereas cowboy steaks have a shorter, also usually frenched bone. Frenched bones are trimmed of meat and fat for a more aesthetically pleasing look. The Tomahawk steak is also fattier as the fat cap is often left on the steak, while a cowboy steak usually has it removed. Both steaks are delicious and packed with flavor. Pick the one that appeals to you more – or try them both using this recipe!
