GARLIC LEMON BUTTER
This tangy flavored butter offers a nice change from plain butter and gives a refreshing new taste to an ear of corn. When I serve this on the side during fresh corn season, the same question always gets asked-"What's in the butter that makes it so delicious?" -Margie Wampler, Butler, Pennsylvania

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.
