GIANT CHIPOTLE-RUBBED STEAKS WITH CILANTRO-LIME BUTTER



Giant Chipotle-Rubbed Steaks With Cilantro-Lime Butter image

This recipe and delicious rub comes from Chris Schlesinger, the former owner and chef of East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Mass. Follow Mr. Schlesinger's lead and leave the steaks untouched on the grill before you flip them. They should be beautifully seared, chestnut brown around the edges where the fat has roasted down, with a tight crust from the rub. Later, perhaps, you can reward yourself with a beer.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, including stems
3 tablespoons chipotles en adobo, or to taste
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 rib-eye steaks, each 2 inches thick and about 1 pound
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill; if using a gas grill, turn both burners to high.
  • Put all spice paste ingredients in a food processor and purée. Rub steaks all over with paste (it will be rather thick) and set aside.
  • Combine ingredients for cilantro-lime butter in a small bowl and mash with a spoon until well mixed and an even consistency.
  • When all coals are covered with gray ash and fire is medium hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 3 to 4 seconds), put steaks on grill directly over coals and cook until well seared, about 7 minutes. Turn and cook another 7 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Remove from heat, top each steak with a couple tablespoons of butter, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality venison steaks: Look for steaks that are a deep red color and have minimal marbling. This will ensure that the steaks are tender and flavorful.
  • Use a good quality ancho chile powder: Ancho chile powder is made from dried ancho chiles, which have a rich, smoky flavor. Make sure to use a fresh, high-quality powder to get the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the steaks: Venison steaks are best cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make the steaks tough and dry.
  • Let the steaks rest before serving: Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steaks, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Ancho chile rubbed venison steaks with lime cilantro butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The ancho chile rub gives the steaks a rich, smoky flavor, while the lime cilantro butter adds a bright, citrusy note. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
