Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 2-pound center-cut beef tenderloin, cut into four 2-inch steaks
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 habanero, seeded, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons minced roasted garlic, see Cook's Note
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 to 5 turns fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the beef tenderloin: Put a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F, or lowest temperature setting. Season the steaks liberally all over with salt and pepper. Place on a rack over a roasting pan and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 125 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of a steak, about 90 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the habanero butter: Whisk together the butter, habanero, lime zest and juice, shallot, roasted garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, to firm up slightly.
  • Set a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Get it extremely hot, and then add the grapeseed oil. Add the rested steaks and cook for 1 minute to add color, turn and cook 1 minute on the second side. Add the butter; as soon it starts to melt spoon it over the meat, and then immediately remove the steaks from pan. Rest 8 minutes and serve with the habanero butter on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right habaneros: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh habaneros. Look for peppers that are bright orange or red in color, and avoid any that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Wear gloves: Habaneros are very spicy, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. This will help protect your skin from the capsaicin, which is the compound that gives habaneros their heat.
  • Remove the seeds: The seeds of habaneros are where most of the heat is concentrated, so if you want a milder compound butter, be sure to remove them before using the peppers.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to make habanero compound butter. It will quickly and easily chop the peppers and butter together until they are smooth and creamy.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the flavors of the habaneros to infuse into the butter. For the best results, let the compound butter sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using.

Conclusion:

Habanero compound butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add a touch of heat and flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether you're using it to spread on bread, melt over grilled meats, or stir into soups and stews, habanero compound butter is sure to add a little something special to your meal.
