Meat knowledge
What is a Tomahawk Steak?
The Original Tomahawk Steak is a real heavyweight steak with a long bone! Beautifully marbled and well-done, it is a true "man's steak" and the highlight of any barbecue party.
Perfect for enjoying and showing off - that's part of it, isn't it? The interesting thing? The Tomahawk Steak is not only made from beef, but also from Austrian straw pig. The "pork chop with a handle", so to speak.
For inquisitive gourmets! How does the Tomahawk Steak from the Straw Pig taste?
Perfectly cooked and aged, the steak has an intense colour and remains tender to the bite. In terms of flavour, the Tomahawk from the Straw Pig has absolutely no reason to hide behind the Beef Steak. Here, too, the smoky note develops with a fine nutty flavour - absolutely brilliant!

We recommend one piece of Tomahawk Steak per person.
Herkunft und Haltung
Pigs are extremely intelligent and clean animals. Therefore, species-appropriate and caring rearing is the be-all and end-all for us. A requirement that is also reflected in the delicious taste.
If you compare pigs from factory farms, for example, one thing is immediately clear: due to the constant stress, the meat is much firmer, loses a lot of water when roasted and hardly has any flavour of its own.
For us at Fitmeat, this type of rearing is out of the question for many reasons. We fight for animal welfare and the appreciation of meat products and strictly distance ourselves from immoral factory farming.
After careful and stress-free individual slaughtering of the pigs, our butchers allow the straw pigs to mature on the bone for a few days. The result is juicy and tender pieces of pork with a wonderful meat flavour.
