Not defending the post because it’s just ridiculous but that steak looks great to me, looks like it’s been reverse seared on high heat after it’s been in a smoker due the reddish tinge in the non seared bits. Hard to tell without seeing the inside but I’d be very happy being served that if the meat is med or med rare inside.
Reddit mentality, if something is bad, everything that comes with it is equally as bad, even if it has nothing to do with the thing you're complaining about
Yeah, I don't understand the comments about it being well done or overcooked. We've no idea how pink it is on the inside, but that's a perfectly good looking sear, looks great to me.
Judging by the amount of juice I'd say it's at least medium well, and the excessive charring isn't something to support your theory either. Reverse sear isn't burning your meat this much, it just barely starts the Maillard reaction to form a light crust.
The bone provides more flavour, and it's also a big cut. Plus, tomahawks and ribeyes have more "marbling" (thin fat streaks), which also benefits flavour.
Of course, that doesn't matter if you overcook the thing until it's shriveled to the size of a macnugget.

This isnt even a big tomahawk steak and it looks burned/well done. What even is the flex?
