A SUPERMARKET is launching a massive 42oz Tomahawk steak for deserving dads in time for Father’s Day.

The meaty feast will be available at Morrisons, between Thursday and Father's Day on Sunday, for £15.

The steak,aged for 14 days and sold with the rib bone intact for enhanced flavour, weighs more than six times the average cut.

It is called the Tomahawk because it resembles the large native American axe.

Morrisons butchery expert, Darren Spauls says: “The Tomahawk will offer dads this Father’s Day the ultimate carnivore experience however, if you can’t defeat the beast alone, the steak will serve two to three people.”

He recommends cooking the steak by frying and sealing it first, for around three minutes each side, before browning in the oven for a further 25 minutes for a medium steak.

He added: “The Tomahawk is guaranteed to get tongues wagging at the dinner table. This massive bone-in steak is tender, has bags of flavour and Dad will love its marbled texture.   

“We’re sure that jaws will drop when customers see the Tomahawk at our butchers counters.”

At 14 inches long and 8 inches wide on average, Morrisons shoppers will have the ‘rare’ chance to try this unusual delicacy for a limited time only.  

Weighing in at an average 1.2kg, the Tomahawk is six times heavier than a 198g steak.

A similar meaty slab will set you back a whopping £77 at a London restaurant.
