Method

  • To make the sauce, whisk together the mustards, molasses, horseradish, honey, and ketchup and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days and then bring back to room temperature.
  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
  • Put an oven rack in the upper center of the oven.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Pat both sides of the steaks dry with paper towels.
  • Brush both sides of the steaks with the butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Season one side of each steak with some of the rub mixture.
  • Place the steaks on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet or on a broiler pan, rub side up.
  • Broil the top side of the steaks until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  • Turn the steaks over and continue broiling until golden brown and cooked to medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the steaks with the sauce on top or on the side and garnish with parsley oil if desired.
  • Mix together the paprika, ground ancho, cumin, coriander, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
