Smoky Chili-Rubbed Coulotte with Fancy Red Pepper Salsa

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°F. Bring coulotte roast to room temperature.

Step 2

Mix all spice rub ingredients and rub all over roast. For extra flavor, let sit uncovered in fridge overnight.

Step 3

Place roast on wire rack laid on top of sheet pan. Roast in oven for 35-45 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 105°F.

Step 4

Remove coulotte from oven, and let rest for 5 minutes. Slicing against the grain, cut the roast into 4 equally-sized steaks.

Step 5

Preheat cast-iron skillet over high heat. Brush the exposed sides of the steaks with a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Sear the steaks on all sides for 1 minute per side, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 120°F. Press down slightly when the fat side is in contact with the skillet.

Step 7

Mix all salsa ingredients and set aside. If eating in less than 2 hours, it can be left at room temperature.

Step 8

Serve with fancy salsa and don’t forget to slice against the grain while eating!
