Ideal if you're getting impatient for that inheritance :wink:

42oz :confused:

Jesus

How do you like your steak sir ? " Pull its horns and tail off, wipe its **** and pass it under the grill "

​I will do what I like fella. I don't get told from you what to do.

In response to the above poster I weighed both the bone and meat...the bone was 25% of the total weight so far from being "more bone than meat"...(as a comparison the bone in a T Bone steak is usually about 20% of the weight)
Please do not post comments like this without doing some research first!

​i went to Verwood on Friday ... none left, went to New Milton at 9 am Saturday morning, asked for a 42 onzer.... nope said the bearded specticled butcher, oh why not i asked, his reply in a brash voice all sold so you wont be getting one, as he was laughing. :confused:

i emailed morrisons, as i was shocked at the way this person (morrisons front of shop) person spoke to me

im happy with the out come :smiley:

Well I picked mine up at Consett Morrisons this morning about 9:15am They have 10 left.

Deliveries were daily from Thursday.

Don't know why people are whinging about the bone. It's still a massive steak for £15. Bargain!

it was lovely

rip off. more bone than meat. give it a miss!

Just got first of the new delivery to Bedford store but they only got 10 I think today. Butcher told me they are limited to 1 per customer now.

1088 grams = 38.3 ounces

I would have taken that all day long a full 42oz

None in Dukinfield...The butcher said they had to make their own from the cut of rib-eye

it just a PR Gimmick the steak looks nothing like any of the photos the butcher at morrisons told me its just a gimmick he cut a bit of steak to the same size a the tomahawk steak and weighed it and it weighed 7oz just for the meat so your paying for the weight of the big bone more than the meat it self.

in for the comments for that pic.

I checked last night in 2, Gravesend was sold out in an hour, Chatham in 30 mins. Was at Gravesend at 8am this morning when they opened and got 2. No rush, no queue.

This deal should be expired as it is obvious what Morrisons are doing I went today at 8:50 and none left .The butcher told me he had 6 over the last two days .Hartlepool ,very disappointed and will only be visiting Morrisons in the future to collect amazon stuff .I grabbed two bottles of vodka on my way to the butchers at the back of the shop only to place them back on the shelf on my way out .

Erith had 10 delivered yesterday, and 15 today - opens at 7am and I went in about 7:20 and nabbed 2nd to last one....
Looking forward to this bad boy for dinner tonight!
Weighed at home 39.5oz

Morrison in Verwood received 8 of these steaks to sell on 16/06/2016 and I traveled to the store at 07.00 opening on 17/062016 and got the last 2 of the 8 they had received that day. I was the fourth in the "queue" and all the others behind me were left disappointed. Not very well serviced offer at all.

Those that got them…could you please kindly publish the weight of the one you got….just curious to see how they varied…thanks…

my local had them back in stock today. after travelling there yesterday they said they would reserve one for me if they were to get some back in which they have kindly done.

Yesterday (16th) lunchtime Sheffield Catcliffe Morrisons was sold out, the chap said they get a delivery each day and he expected more to be delivered. I picked mine up from Meadowhead Sheffield (8pm last night) and there were 3 left.

None in Wells Morrisons, doesn't look like they ever had them, the butcher said he had no idea what a tomahawk steak was let alone stock them.

My one actually weighed in at 35oz (1kg) so not too bad. To put this into perspective a butcher online is selling 600g ones for £20 and Marks and Spencers are doing one (approx 1kg) for £25 so the Morrisons deal is/was a good one. They will always cover themselves by saying "while stocks last" but if each store only had around 20 each they should have not allowed a single customer to buy a box full as reported by a previous poster.

I just get a single rib cut from then with the big eye of a large rib joint.
Tesco do bone in rib joints @£10kg sometimes which are just ok
The Waitrose is nicer but a lot more

If there is a reduced joint buy the lot trim to the bone for a sensible size and get a thin steak from the between the bones for the mrs.

expire this now

If advertised as 42oz should be that as a minimum.

Wife went looking for one. Apparently 10 delivered went within minutes 2 guys bought the lot.

​the cost in fuel to travel to 3 stores as well must have **** you off. from what I was told today there were only 6 delivered to most stores for some reason. and as a working Man this deal is obviously not for me as I'm not able to go shopping a 8am so they're dole dosser steaks imo :stuck_out_tongue:

Word of warning - do not travel for this deal, I have been to/called three stores in south Hampshire and ALL THREE were sold out within minutes of opening, this is a cheap nasty sales ploy to get you into store, real shame really. Anyone else had better luck?

I went in to my local Morrisons today. Around 12, and they only had one left. It was slightly bigger than a regular steak but with a massive, wholly unnecessary bone coming out of it.

I won't be bothering with this I think. Only aged 14 days as well, I doubt it will taste particularly good anyway.

Another Crawley store visitor, sold out within minutes as they only had a few. I'm not surprised the butcher's department wasn't staffed for long, I imagine they were getting alot of hassle from annoyed customers. Bit surprised in Morrison's tactics to get footfall knowing most customers couldn't buy the offer and advertising something most wouldn't get ie no steaks over 32oz, they must believe a fool and his money are easily parted.

42oz Tomahawk Steak £15.00 @ Morrisons what a joke ! . at 8.00am they had 8 steakes,sold out by 8.30am .
email from head office at 10.00am saying they would not be geting any more ,just a sales ploy .

Sold out in Crawley by 7:30 am!

had only one left in my morrisons (lelyland) looked about 16 oz including bone ... ive eaten bigger sirloins, was not impressive

Maximum of 25 in any store - https://twitter.com/Morrisons/status/743393943363198976

I wish they'd stop this ripoff marketing ploy (if true). In the states (or california at least), if any offers of any kind go out of stock, then you can get a 'rain check', which guarantees you one at the offer price, i.e. the retailer has to supply you with one. Pretty common sense it should be like that imv, otherwise these deals are open to so much abuse by retailers.

Was thinking that myself. Thousands of their own steaks all ove rthe place

2 boxes for most places in scotland

Guy walks in at 8:15 buys a full case then guy after him buys the rest leaving only 1 steak left.

No more deliveries was supposedly not supposed to be advertised on tv. Alot of people are going to be unhappy

Exeter store only received one case (4 x steaks) and won't be receiving any more deliveries.
All a huge marketing ploy to get you in store to buy their other steaks!!

Don't bother. Butcher at my local confirmed only 20 per store and he'd sold all by 9:30. He said he didn't know if they were getting any more in. Besides, he said they range from 28oz to 42oz and he only got ones at the lower end of the scale. Taking the weight of the bone into account, he told me i'd be lucky to get 2 x 8oz steaks out of it.

I looked in Crawley, and none around anywhere, and no one on the meat counter to ask. No signs about them too, which i thought odd. Can anyone actually eat that amount of meat? I used to be a big eater, and had trouble with a 32oz in my prime, although i managed it, the last quarter wasn't enjoyable. The wetherspoons 14oz does me these days, surprisingly good quality (most of the time).

Not sure the price in a restaurant is a good guide to the value when bought from a supermarket.

If anyone wants one of these i'd get down Morrisons very sharpish....went into my local one 7:30 this morning, the butcher had 2 left but told me when they opened at 7am, barely half an hour earlier, he had around 20....

Must say I'm a little disappointed with mine, there's no way it's 42oz, i would say 30oz tops and probably a third of that is the weight of the bone. That siad you would pay a minimum of £45-50 in a restaurant for one of these so still a good deal...

Nothing in Watford store, nobody on meat counter to ask - as usual !

Website states out of stock - another Morrisons wild goose chase - I find the Morrisons specials even more elusive than the Tesco "in store" deals ...

Picked one up on the way into work
There were about half a dozen behind the butchers counter that I could see

I will buy as many as I can get in my van!!!

Heard a great recipe for a marinade on Radio 2 for this the other week,making strides other ingredients it had chilli & coffee :man:

Must try if I can find it

Best way to cook this bad boy is on the BBQ as much hotter than a pan...and more space! Always rest for at least 5 minutes

Actually, would you mind if we don't? The football is on.

Ideal for steak and **** *** day :smile:

Or you could buy a bone-in rib roast and cut it up yourself

Wonder how many each store will have of these! My local morrisons isn't really that local, suppose a phone call is in order before I make the trip!

Morrisons online don't get there stock from stores, they have a dedicated butcher department at the distribution depot that cuts all meat to order

I prefer to hang it, open, in the garage until a bloom appears on the outside. Just scrape it off before cooking. The extra putrefaction does wonders for the flavour.

You work out whether I'm being serious or not.

these steaks are recommended to be served served medium, even though I like mine rare.

Steak hater...................... have the chicken instead!!

;-)
:laughing:

Bring it on! I am going to buy myself one for my Fathers Day BBQ!!!

He's quite keen on meat meets ...

​21-28 day aged beef means that after slaughter the carcass is hung on the bone before it is deboned & packed.

Thanks for that, now I understand. 42ozs instore and most likely 32ozs online as the picker is left with the smaller ones. Looks like a store visit is necessary.

To me it means pick out the 3 biggest looking and take them over to sme scales to weigh them, then pick the biggest, checking the bone situation of course.

istr that before the eu, the weight was the minimum weight allowed (i.e. a 2 lbs steak would be 2lbs or greater). The eu then said the weight (with an 'e' after it), is the average weight of a batch, so some weigh less and others more - not sure of the allowed variation (in fact not certain of all of this, just in the back of my mind). I'm sure someone knows.

Online at present:
Morrisons British Tomahawk Steak 900G - 1.2Kg 1.05kg
Not fully sure what that means? But seems to imply I could end up with less than 32ozs :-) :-) :-)
Or am I reading it wrong?

Comment

I love it !!!!

Would go for this if they did it in Large.

Aged for 14 days, so they kill it and pack it pretty much.
21-28 is best.
I have a vacuum seal beef joint in my fridge that I have left for 28 days past expiry, have done this before and its amazing.

​get me a bucket!!

​Wooooooosh :confused:

I've only cooked a tomahawk steak once - got it from M&S - ribeye on the bone is absolutely delicious - very difficult to persuade butchers to source it.
Used a convection/microwave, fairly big one, but not sensibly big enough for the steak - had to wedge it in, positioned diagonally corner to corner - fed four people very nicely.
I've no idea how they think someone is going to fit that steak in a frying pan - might be an idea to blowtorch brown it instead.
Hot deal!

​You don't eat enough brains.

Certainly not the biggest steak I've had the pleasure of cooking but what a terrible way to cook a good bit of meat. charcoal or under the grill is the only way to go!

This is SO going on the big green egg!

Morrissey is a vegetarian,u send him meat?

I'm off on an all-inclusive holiday soon and one of these will help me train..
Are there any frozen chips, mushrooms, eggs or onion rings on offer to go with it?
Seriously, though, assume there's about 6oz of bone leaving 25-30oz = 4 meals. Heat added.

I'm a big Morrissey fan and send him one of these on his birthday every year. I also send him 3kg of bacon which I cure with salt that I make myself from my own.... ummm....

DO WANT

How do you like your steak sir ? " Pull its horns and tail off, wipe its **** and pass it under the grill "

"sold with the bone to enhance the weight & appear cheaper" still desearves heat for price <3 Screw the old man, I'm getting one of these for myself :sunglasses:

31 minutes cooking time? What a waste of a beautiful ribeye. £12.50 for ribeye looks ok to me.

When you buy this steak, are you forced to eat it all in one go, and aren't you allowed to share it between 3 or 4 or 5 other people? Because the other posts seem to assume that.

does it come with a free wafer thin mint

feed the whole family with that steak :confused:

Great, treat your Dad to a nice emergency gall bladder procedure.

I can imagine cooking that steak.....


I'm gonna need a new knife for this one.....

42oz :confused:

25mins in the oven?!! :confused:

half a cow :confused:
