Step By Step

Instructions

1
Make the cowboy butter by adding the softened butter piece to a medium bowl and with a whisk, break up the pieces and whip until fluffy (alternatively use a standing mixer or beater). Add the lemon zest, juice, pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk again very well to combine to fluff up as much as possible then set aside.
2
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment and place a cooling rack over. Place the tomahawk steak on top. In a small bowl mix the ground New Mexico red chile, coffee grounds, brown sugar, garlic powder, remaining 2 teaspoons black pepper, cinnamon and remaining 2 teaspoon salt. Mix well with a fork and then rub the tomahawk all over with the spice mixture. Discard any excess spice mix on the sheet pan since it has a tendency to smoke and burn while roasting.
3
Drizzle the olive oil over the spiced steak and rub all over on both sides with one hand. Place in the oven and roast on the middle rack until an instant-read thermometer pressed into the centermost and thickest part of the steak reads 125 degrees for medium rare, about 20 minutes. Transfer the steak to a plate to rest for 15 minutes.
4
Once rested, heat the canola oil in a large cast-iron pan over high. Once hot, sear each side of the tomahawk, pressing down with tongs until a well-browned crust forms, about 1 minute per side. Let rest for about 10 minutes and serve with the cowboy butter and flake salt.
