STEAKS WITH GARLIC CILANTRO BUTTER

Steps:

• Select steaks approx 1 inch thick. Allow steaks to come to room temperature so they cook quickly and evenly.
• Place slightly softened butter, garlic, cilantro, paprika and lemon juice in food processor, and pulse until well blended. Refrigerate resulting herb butter.
• Salt and pepper steaks.
• Grill steaks uncovered on hot bbq for 5 minutes on one side. Don't worry if it flames a bit.
• After 5 minutes, turn steaks, place lid on BBQ, close top vent half-way and cook about 8 minutes more. During this period, be sure to turn steaks every two minutes for even cooking. This should give you medium-rare to medium doneness.
• Remove steaks from grill.
• Place large dollops of herb butter on steaks, and allow steaks to rest 5 minutes on plate, covered, so juices get re-absorbed. This 5 minutes is a great time to use the BBQ to grill some veggies. I make grilled zucchini, yellow squash and portabella mushrooms. After grilling veggies, add some of the herb butter to them.
• For best flavor, use a charcoal grill with mesquite natural charcoal, but you can use a gas grill.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CUCUMBER LIME SALSA

Steps:

• Marinate swordfish:
• Stir together lime juice, honey, oil, and coriander in a shallow dish. Add swordfish, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 15 minutes. (Do not marinate longer.)
• Make salsa while swordfish marinates:
• Remove peel, including all white pith, from lime with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from membranes and finely chop segments, then combine with remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl.
• Grill swordfish:
• Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove swordfish from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill fish until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with salsa.
