"Priced at $270, the Wagyu tomahawk is not only the most expensive steak on RPM's menu, but it's also one of the priciest steaks in the entire country. As a true tomahawk - a bone-in ribeye with its long, frenched bone still attached - its sheer size certainly contributes to the inflated cost. However, another reason why this tomahawk steak is so expensive is its pedigree."
"The steak is sourced from Australian producer Westholme. Its Wagyu is a cross between traditional Japanese Wagyu and the Mitchel cow (named after the type of native grass they feed on). This crossbreed of two respected beef lineages creates something truly distinct, which plays on the elite status of Wagyu and the terroir-driven qualities of Australian cattle. Situated in the remote lands of Australia's Northern Territory, Westholme sets itself apart by allowing its cattle to live a natural, free-range lifestyle."
RPM restaurants operate upscale concepts in Chicago's River North, including RPM Italian, RPM Seafood, and RPM Steak. RPM Steak features a 42-ounce Australian Wagyu tomahawk priced at $270, one of the most expensive steaks in the country. The tomahawk is a bone-in ribeye whose size contributes to cost, and its premium price reflects its pedigree. The steak is sourced from Westholme, a Northern Territory Australian producer that breeds a cross of Japanese Wagyu and the Mitchel cow and raises cattle free-range. Westholme's three-decade approach yields exceptionally well-marbled, tender cuts. RPM sources two dozen global beef cuts from elite purveyors.
