Based on what I’ve read, Monmouth Meats in Red Bank is a good possibility, but you need @NotJrvedivici to chime in!

Monmouth meats in Red Bank would be my top choice, especially if you want prime & aged. The owner has participated on here occasionally I remember he answered questions about his Japanese Wagyu a year or so ago. If you aren’t concerned about aged then a more convenient option would be a World Class Shop Rite butcher has prime tomahawks at reasonable prices (all things considered). At least the newer Shop Rite by me in Shrewsbury has them on a regular basis.
You might be lucky and find some at Costco, they have an excellent prime meat section, just not 100% sure about tomahawks.
(remember generously coat with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper just before putting on the grill. set the grill at its highest temp all burner sear 3-5 mins each side depending on thickness - after each side is seared turn off center burners directly below the steak and just keep the outer burners on high to finish cooking the steak. Take off grill let sit 5 mins before cutting/slicing.
If you are feeling a little daring you can put it on a baking sheet on the grill put some fresh smashed garlic - twigs of rosemary - and a tablespoon of purified butter on top of the steak after you turn the middle burners off. After slicing the steak drizzle the butter / garlic/rosemary/juices back over the sliced steak on a plate before serving.
Place an upside down saucer on the table & place the end of steak dish on the saucer so the steak plate is on a slant and all those juices will pool on the bottom of the steak/serving plate. This way you can spoon the juices and pour it over each slice served. That’s some top steak house sh*t right there!!!)
Enjoy!!

Thank you all for the great steak tips, especially the step by step instructions. I think I’ll hit up Monmouth Meats on Friday afternoon as I will be heading south on the parkway from NNJ. Is this something I should order ahead of time?

You certainly can it can’t hurt, but I’ve never called in and he’s never been without what I wanted. I was just down in Ocean Twp so I hit up Wegmans. Enjoy and I want pics!!

I have never had to order in the past as he always seems to have what I want, but it couldn’t hurt to call especially since it will be on a Friday

I have to be honest since waking up this morning and writing my steak recommendation I’ve been dying for a tomahawk rib eye Unfortunately my day brought me to Ocean Twp instead of Red Bank, so Wegmans it was. (Mea-culpa to Stew at Monmouth Meats)
Prime aged tomahawk rib eye, (Wegmans made) crab cakes, sautéed broccoli ( shout out to Goya on having an absolutely decent white cooking wine) and some corn on the cob.
Absolutely delicious! Wow great meal thank you for the inspiration!!
Everything good starts with garlic and shallots
Here’s the baby
Shout out to Goya!
OMG THANK YOU ALL a for the inspiration!! Dam great meal!!

How was your steak MsBean? I got some of that grass fed tenderloin from Shoprite that was on sale father’s day weekend. Has tons of raw beef which is always a treat and made myself a giant chateaubriand, cool in the middle with a butter shallot wine sauce. Good times!!

It came out really good, thanks for asking. It was little bit overdone for me but perfect for Mr Bean as he likes his meat rare/medium rare while I like it very rare. I posted pix in the June What’s for Dinner thread.
I’ve never had chateaubriand but it sounds good. I may have to try it someday.

It’s just a fancy name for a giant tenderloin steak! 
Glad you enjoyed your steak! I’m a fan of rare steak but when it is super well marbled I think more done is actually better because it gives the fat a chance to lube up. Steak looks amazing!!

When I first moved to the area (1993) The Shadowbrook was still serving dinner. They were also part of the Entertainment Club, they had a coupon (reusable) for 50% off!! They were admittedly long past their prime by this point, but the property was still beautiful, though dated, the service was still tuxedoed white glove. They had chateaubriand for 2 for $ 50. (back then), served table side. They would bring the cutting board with the tenderloin, grilled vegetables and delicious mashed potatoes. I would get a cesare salad (tableside as well) and a couple of drinks the entire tab would be $ 50. after the meal was discounted from $ 50 - $ 25.
You would eat and be served like a king and escape for $ 50. for two people, it was the best deal back then.

I also have fond memories of The Shadowbrook. While there is plenty of good food around, that type of experience is hard to find today at any price.

I haven’t entertainment booked for a while not but I remember Shadowbrook was still on it! I can’t remember if I’ve ever gone. But man that sounds like an amazing deal!! I wonder how they’re doing these days.
Come on by and I’ll serve up some grass fed chateaubriand for you in white gloves. But probably boxers and t shirt not a tuxedo, can’t fit into mine right now.
