Steaks with Chili Butter
4 servings
35 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pink (or kosher) salt
  • 2 ½ teaspoons chili powder, divided
  • 1 ½ lb boneless steaks (such as ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin fillet)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut (or olive) oil
  • 1 (12 oz) jar roasted red peppers
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
  • ¼ cup sliced fresh green onions
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Combine brown sugar, salt, and 2 teaspoons chili powder; coat steaks on all sides with oil and seasoning mixture (wash hands). Grill steaks 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer steaks to cutting board and let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    2. Meanwhile, drain peppers. Place peppers, hot sauce, green onions, and remaining ½ teaspoon chili powder in food processor bowl (or blender); process until smooth. Transfer sauce to small saucepan; simmer on low 1–2 minutes.
    3. Cut butter into small cubes. Remove pan from heat; whisk in butter until blended. Serve sauce over steaks.

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.

Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with soap and water after any contact with raw meat, seafood, or eggs.
Do not reuse marinades.
Do not rinse raw meat.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
