Mustard Rub Tomahawk Steak with Microgreen Relish

Behind the Recipe

The Cowboy Cut from Brittany Griffith

In climbing there can be a lot of down time. In those moments where I'm not climbing or focused on my partner, I'm thinking about what I want to make for dinner, and tonight, we’re going big.

I’ll always remember how my stepdad used to make us these giant steaks. It always felt so special. So this time, I marinated a big tomahawk steak with mustard and a dry rub mix, and then picked some herbs from my mom’s garden to make a microgreens relish for the top. Don’t worry if it sounds complicated. You’ll get the hang of it as you go. Just be creative. Throw things together any way that works for you. As long as it’s made with intention and love, there’s never a reason to be afraid when you’re cooking. Even if it’s a big ol’ tomahawk steak recipe.
