This recipe for Black Angus bone-in tomahawk in a coffee peppercorn crust is served with herb jus, béarnaise sauce, and mustards, and an assortment of sides. I’ve chosen sautéed forest mushrooms, baby vegetables, parmesan truffle fries and purple sweet potato mash. At The Kunlun Jing An this is presented on a trolley and carved by a chef. You can do the same at home to impress guests with this great steak.
