In just a few weeks we will officially start to celebrate summer but the barbecue grill will be fired up long before then as it's never really out of use here in California. Recently, while looking for ideas for a local wine pairing dinner, I came across this recipe for grilled rib eye steak on a Food and Wine magazine web page. I love the addition of chipotle powder in the rub mixture as it lends a mild smokiness to the steak. The lime butter was a bit surprising to me. On chicken maybe, but steak? OMG YES! This is the best flavor combination—unexpected but oh so welcome to my grilled dinner anytime. Pair this with a Malbec or Tempranillo. Let the sun shine in! Spice Rubbed Rib Eye Steaks
1 1/2 t sweet paprika 1 1/2 t ground cumin 1 1/2 t chipotle powder 1 1/2 t kosher salt Two, 16-ounce, 1-inch thick, boneless rib eye steaks Combine the salt, paprika, cumin and chipotle powder and rub the mixture all over the steaks. Let sit for a couple of hours out of the refrigerator. Get a bbq ready and grill the steaks over moderately high heat, turning once, until slightly charred and medium-rare, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a platter and slather with the lime butter. Let the steaks rest for 5-6 minutes before serving. Lime-Garlic Butter 4 T unsalted butter, softened 1 small garlic clove, minced finely grated zest of 1 lime 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice Kosher salt In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Keep at room temp until the steaks are done. |
