's post earlier and it sparked an old memory. He asked me to post it up so here it is. BTW if you havent seen his latest thread on the birthday cook he did for his daughter then you need to go do that now. It was really amazing work. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/birthday-party-smoke-w-pics.315373/
About 2 years ago (time has flown by) my son had an odd birthday dinner request. We do this thing where we will either go out for a favorite birthday meal or I'll cook whatever they want. I assume most families do the same. This particular year stumped me.
See both of my boys are avid youtube watchers and they watch alot of these young rich bratty food snobs. My 11 year old at the time says "I want a golden tomahawk for my birthday dinner. Of course a million things flood my mind as to what this crazy kid has dreamed up but I played along. He showed me the videos and I said sure, lets replicate that. After all this steak was A5 Wagyu and cost upwards of $10,000 in the video he showed me. We did it for around ~150 ish.
Still expensive but not much more than feeding 2 teens and the family at a nice restaurant. The real bonus is I got to do it with him and that was totally worth it.
So I went to the local butcher and grabbed a ~5 lb tomahawk and waited on the mail lady to deliver the 30 sheets of 24k gold leaf from amazon. My aplolgies there are no cross section pics. It was done right though perfect rare to mid rare. Thanks for looking.
Here it is rubbed up with raw crushed garlic and my go to Angelo's steak pit seasoning (hand for size reference):
Here it is seared up and rested before the gold application:
Here she is in all her guilded glory:
