Jimmy’s Deli Launches Monster The Great Southern Pinnacle Tomahawk
Melbourne’s food scene is no stranger to bold, jaw-dropping creations, but Jimmy’s in Yarraville has just raised the bar with a limited edition sandwich so epic it’s causing a stir on the streets. Meet The Great Southern Pinnacle Tomahawk, a 1.2kg behemoth that’s part steak, part spectacle, and all flavor. As the first to sink their teeth into this monstrous masterpiece, The World Loves Melbourne can confirm: this is no ordinary sandwich. It’s a flame-grilled, melt-in-your-mouth celebration of premium Australian beef that’s set to become a legend among Melbourne foodies.
At the heart of this culinary titan is a 1.2kg Tomahawk Rib Eye, sourced from the finest grass-fed cattle raised in the lush, fertile pastures of southern Australia. Jimmy’s has partnered with Great Southern Pinnacle Grass Fed Beef, a brand that epitomizes quality. The cattle, a mix of British and European breeds, graze in an environment blessed with reliable year-round rainfall, resulting in beef with just the right amount of marbling for unparalleled tenderness and flavor. This isn’t just steak—it’s steak elevated to an art form, free from additives and packed with rich, natural taste.
The preparation is flawless. Flame-kissed to medium-rare perfection, the Tomahawk is seasoned with precision, allowing the beef’s inherent flavors to shine. Served atop a toasted Country Sourdough Cobb loaf, the sandwich is sturdy enough to hold its own against the juicy steak and generous lashings of house-made peppercorn gravy. This gravy is the stuff of dreams—silky, spicy, and the perfect complement to the beef’s robust profile. Every bite is a symphony of textures and flavors, from the tender, melt-in-your-mouth steak to the toasty, flavorful bread that soaks up the juices without ever turning soggy.
But the sandwich isn’t the only star of the plate. Accompanying this beast are thrice-fried chat potatoes, delivering an addictive crunch that’s the ideal counterpoint to the tender beef. House-pickled vegetables add a zingy, tangy pop, cutting through the richness and keeping every bite exciting. And for those who like to channel their inner caveman, you even get the bone to gnaw on—a primal touch that adds to the fun. This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience, aptly described as “Steak Frites on steroids.”
The Great Southern Pinnacle Tomahawk isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s a feast designed to be shared, recommended for two people who are ready to tackle its sheer scale and decadence. Yet, despite its size, it’s not overwhelming in complexity. The team at Jimmy’s, led by Owner/Chef Thierry, knows that with beef this good, less is more. While cheese could have been an option, the consensus is that it would only detract from the steak’s purity and the magic of that peppercorn gravy. The focus remains squarely on the quality of the ingredients, and it pays off in spades.
When The World Loves Melbourne took on this sandwich, it was a spectacle. Diners at nearby tables couldn’t help but gawk, and passersby on Yarraville’s Main Street stopped in their tracks, some shouting, “What IS that?!” as the towering sandwich was wrestled with regular cutlery. It’s a head-turner, a showstopper, and a social media darling that looks as sensational on your feed as it tastes on your plate. The combination of premium ingredients, bold presentation, and pure, unadulterated flavor makes it a must-try for steak lovers and adventure-seeking foodies alike.
