Made this dish with a couple tweaks. First, the cooking time seemed waayyy too long. I grilled the steak outdoors five minutes on each side, sufficient for medium rare. That said, I ALSO let the steak rest for five or six minutes before slicing. It's surprising that the recipe does not advise you to do that. The horseradish cream adds little to this dish. I think that partially due to the sugar in the rub--the two flavors seem to compete. I might consider reducing the sugar to a half tablespoon next time to let the flavors of the cream (and the rub) be more pronounced. Lastly, I discovered this recipe too late to marinade the steak overnight. However, even with just four hours in the fridge, it imparted a very nice flavor to the meat.
