What is a tomahawk pork chop?

It is a bone-in pork ribeye, which is an extremely tender cut of meat. They are also known to be very flavorful and are a real treat!
Where to buy tomahawk pork chops
Tomahawk pork chops are a specialty item that is only available in select butchers, which is why we love ordering ours from Sealand Quality Foods.
The tomahawk chops they carry are Nagano Pork, a specialty Canadian meat that is always tender and juicy.
If you live in Canada, they'll deliver these chops (as well as many other types of premium meat and seafood) right to your doorstep. The convenience is amazing!
Their meat is all quick frozen, which maintains the freshest quality. And since each piece is individually wrapped, it is effortless to scale recipes up or down without having any food waste.
So if you're cooking for a family of five, thaw an extra chop, and you'll be ready to make dinner!

How to grill tomahawk pork chops in the oven
In the winter months, we truly love making this recipe in our oven. The best way to do this is to use a grill pan. If you don't have one, a sheet pan will work well, too. (Just as long as you don't mind missing out on the grill marks.)
- Preheat your oven with the grill pan inside. With the grill pan nice and hot, you'll be able to sear those pretty grill marks onto the chops.
- Make the honey garlic sauce. Saute some garlic in butter in a pan, then add some vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. After about a minute, the sauce will become beautifully thick.
- Season your tomahawk pork chops. Place them onto a hot grill pan in your oven to give them delicious-looking grill marks.
- Now baste the chops in the honey garlic sauce, then return them to the oven for a quick broil to caramelize the sauce.
That's it! You've just made yourself some deliciously sticky honey garlic chops for dinner!

Can I make this recipe on a BBQ?
Of course! Tomahawk pork chops are amazing made on the BBQ. If it's grilling weather where you are, you can certainly cook these outdoors. All that you have to do is follow the recipe and baste the chops in the honey garlic sauce a minute or two before you take them off the grill.
