Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Steaks or pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Zest of lime
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare your charcoal grill for direct cooking.
Pat the steaks or chops dry using a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced chipotle peppers, minced garlic, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and lime zest. Mix well until fully incorporated. Set aside the chipotle butter.
Place the steaks or chops onto the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, or until the desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer if needed (145°F for medium-rare, higher for more doneness).
Once cooked, remove the steaks or chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate or cutting board for about 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Top each steak or chop with a dollop of the prepared chipotle butter while they are still warm, letting it melt over the meat.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
