For this intensely flavorful rib eye steak from chef Bernie Kantak. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
1 small garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 dash kosher salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder |
4 (12 ounce) rib eye steaks, 1-inch thick, boneless |
vegetable oil, for the grill |
Directions:
1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, combine the paprika, cumin and chipotle powder with 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Rub the mixture all over the steaks.
2. Oil the grate and grill the steaks over moderately high heat, turning once, until slightly charred and medium-rare, about 12 minutes. Transfer the steaks to plates and top with the lime butter. Let the steaks stand for 3 to 4 minutes before serving.
