GRILLED CHILI STEAK WITH GARLIC-LIME BUTTER



Grilled Chili Steak with Garlic-Lime Butter image

As we head into grilling season, this is something you should definitely add to the rotation. New York strip steaks are dry-brined with a chili rub, grilled to perfection, and topped with a rich garlic-lime butter providing a flavor profile similar to that of a bowl of chili. Serve with a cold potato salad, baked or barbecued beans, or a green salad if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Time 3h25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pinches cayenne pepper
2 (10 ounce) New York strip steaks
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 medium lime, zested
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
grated lime zest for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, pepper, and cayenne for rub together in a small bowl.
  • Place steaks on a large plate. Sprinkle kosher salt generously on both sides, then sprinkle rub over the salt.
  • Twist 3 pieces of foil into 1/2-inch diameter rolls and place them under the steaks to act as a rack and lift the steaks up from the plate. Pop steaks into the fridge and leave uncovered to dry-brine for 3 to 12 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place garlic and salt for garlic-lime butter in a mortar. Grind to a paste with a pestle. Add butter and lime zest and stir with a small spoon to combine. Set aside.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat. Remove steaks from the refrigerator and brush with vegetable oil on both sides.
  • Place steaks on the preheated grill and cook until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center and meat gently springs back to the touch, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.
  • Remove from the grill and top with garlic-lime butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili peppers. For a milder chili butter, use mild chili peppers like Anaheim or Poblano peppers. For a spicier chili butter, use hotter chili peppers like Cayenne or Serrano peppers. You can also use a combination of mild and hot chili peppers to create a custom heat level.
  • Roast the chili peppers. Roasting the chili peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel and chop. You can roast the chili peppers in the oven, on the grill, or over an open flame.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the chili peppers. The seeds and ribs are the hottest parts of the chili peppers, so removing them will help to reduce the heat level of the chili butter. You can use a spoon or a knife to remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest. Fresh lemon juice and zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to the chili butter. Be sure to use unwaxed lemons, as the wax can add a bitter flavor to the butter.
  • Use high-quality butter. The quality of the butter you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the chili butter. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Chill the chili butter before using. This will help the butter to firm up and make it easier to spread.

Conclusion:

Chili lemon butter is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled fish or chicken, roasted vegetables, or even popcorn. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or crackers. With its bright, citrusy flavor and a hint of heat, chili lemon butter is sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen.
