Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chili Steak with Garlic Lime Butter Sauce.
Step 1
To start, grab a small bowl and mix together chili powder, ground cumin, chipotle powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a flavorful spice rub that will elevate your steaks.
Step 2
Next, generously sprinkle kosher salt on both sides of your steaks, allowing the salt to enhance their natural flavors.
Step 3
Once seasoned, evenly apply the spice rub over the salted steaks, ensuring every bite will be packed with taste.
Step 4
For a little extra finesse, twist three pieces of aluminum foil into rolls about half an inch in diameter and place them under the steaks.
Step 5
This clever trick will elevate the steaks from the plate, allowing air to circulate as they dry-brine in the refrigerator for anywhere from three to twelve hours.
Step 6
While the steaks are brining, let’s whip up a delicious garlic-lime butter.
Step 7
In a mortar, combine minced garlic with a pinch of salt and grind it into a smooth paste.
Step 8
Then, mix in softened butter and fresh lime zest until everything is well blended.
Step 9
Set this zesty concoction aside for later.
Step 10
When you’re ready to grill, preheat your charcoal grill to high heat.
Step 11
Take the steaks out of the fridge and brush both sides with a light coating of vegetable oil to help achieve that perfect sear.
Step 12
Grill the steaks for about four to five minutes on each side, keeping an eye on them until they are firm and a lovely reddish-pink in the center.
Step 13
You’re aiming for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for that perfect medium-rare finish.
Step 14
Once grilled to perfection, remove the steaks from the heat and generously top them with your homemade garlic-lime butter.
Step 15
Let it melt into the warm steaks, adding a burst of flavor that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Step 16
Enjoy your deliciously seasoned and perfectly grilled steaks!.
