Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 NY strip steaks
- ¼ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 smoked chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce, minced
- 2 teaspoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- zest of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
Instructions
- Trim your steaks of any excess fat and pat them dry using paper towels. Place them in a small baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Add the salt to both sides of each steak, then place them in the fridge uncovered on the baking rack for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your outdoor grill. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can certainly use a grill pan instead.
- While your grill is heating up, add the softened butter, chipotle pepper, grated garlic, chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and pinch of salt to a small bowl.
- Mix until well combined then set in the fridge while you cook your steaks.
- Grill the steaks for several minutes on each side or until they reach at least 125°F for medium rare, when checked with a meat thermometer. Keep in mind that the steak will continue to cook while it’s resting. You can cook the steak more to your liking and reference the temperatures chart in the notes.
- Add half the chipotle lime butter over the tops of each steak and tent with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. Allowing the steaks to rest is important, so that the juices redistribute throughout the steak, rather than run out all over your board.
- After the steaks have rested, slice them against the grain and serve.
