Ingredients:
For the Chipotle Spice Rub:
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
One teaspoon smoked paprika
One teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Lime Butter:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Beef Rib Eyes:
4 beef ribeye steaks (approximately 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Chipotle Spice Rub:
In a small bowl, combine the minced chipotle peppers, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a paste.
Season the Rib Eyes:
Rub the chipotle spice mixture evenly over both sides of each ribeye steak. Make sure to press the rub into the meat for maximum flavor absorption.
Place the seasoned steaks on a plate and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Make the Lime Butter:
In another bowl, combine the softened butter, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Set the lime butter aside.
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Make sure to oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the Rib Eyes:
Brush both sides of the ribeye steaks with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your desired level of doneness.
Remember to avoid pressing down on the steaks with a spatula as it can release precious juices.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve with Lime Butter:
Place each grilled ribeye on a serving plate.
Top each steak with a generous dollop of the lime butter.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy!
Serve your Chipotle-Spiced Beef Rib Eyes with Lime Butter alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Don’t forget to drizzle any remaining lime butter over the sides for an added treat.
