Best Grilled T Bones With Chipotle Chili Rub And Cilantro Lime Compound Butter Recipes

GRILLED T-BONES WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the butter, chipotle, lime zest and juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mash with a spoon until smooth. Mound the mixture onto a square of plastic wrap, form into a log shape about 6 inches long, and roll up in the plastic; twist the ends of the plastic tightly to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking. Rub some oil onto the steaks and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate with oil. Grill the steaks, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally in the meat but not touching the bone registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and allow to rest 10 minutes. Slice the steaks and divide among plates; top each serving with a slice of the chipotle butter.

GRILLED CORN WITH CILANTRO LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Cream butter in a bowl until smooth; mix in cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.
• Peel husks back from ears of corn starting at the top, leaving the husks attached at the bottom of the ears. Remove all the corn silk and close husks over the ears again. Cover corn ears with cold water in a large bowl until husks are thoroughly soaked, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the corn in husks onto the hot grate and grill covered until husks are charred and the corn kernels are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, turning often. Strip off husks and serve corn with cilantro lime butter.

GRILLED T-BONE STEAKS WITH CHIPOTLE AND CILANTRO BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix the butter, chilies, cilantro and tequila in a bowl to blend.
• Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Spoon the chili butter over the center of the plastic wrap. Roll the chili butter into a cylinder. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
• Cut the chili butter log crosswise into 8 slices.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt and black pepper.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. (I used a cast iron skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter.).
• Grill the steaks for five minutes. Turn the steaks over and top each with 2 of the chili butter slices. Continue grilling for 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until the butter begins to melt.
• Transfer the steaks to plates and serve.

CHIPOTLE-RUBBED STEAKS WITH CILANTRO-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• To prepare, build a fire in your grill; if using a gas grill, turn both burners to high.
• Put all spice paste ingredients in a food processor and puree. Rub steaks all over with paste (it will be rather thick) and set aside.
• Combine ingredients for cilantro-lime butter in a small bowl and mash with a fork until well mixed and an even consistency. (May be made earlier in the day.)
• When all coals are covered with gray ash and fire is medium hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 3 to 4 seconds), put steaks on grill directly over coals and cook until well seared, about 7 minutes. Turn and cook another 7 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Remove from heat, top each steak with a couple tablespoons of butter and serve.

GRILLED CHILE-CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, lime zest, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cumin together in a small bowl. Place chicken in a large plastic bag or a bowl and add lime marinade. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in a refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and skin is golden and lightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and garnish with cilantro.
