Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces T-bone steaks
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
Instructions
Remove the T-bone steaks from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even grilling.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper. Drizzle them with olive oil and rub the seasoning into the meat. Set aside.
In a small bowl or food processor, combine the unsalted butter, chipotle peppers, finely chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and lime juice. Blend until smooth or mix thoroughly if doing it by hand.
Spoon the chipotle-cilantro butter onto a small sheet of parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape, twisting the ends of the parchment to secure, and refrigerate until firm (about 15 minutes).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Clean the grates thoroughly and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Place the T-bone steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve good sear marks. Flip the steaks and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or a few minutes longer for your desired doneness.
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
Slice the chilled chipotle-cilantro butter into medallions and place one on top of each steak just before serving. The butter will melt over the hot steak, adding rich flavor and moisture.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
