2 tablespoons McCormick grill seasoning
2 limes, zest of
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 (8 ounce) beef strip steaks (1 inch thick, 8 oz. each)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups smoked cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
1 dash salt
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

In a small bowl combine the grill seasoning, lime zest, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Work the dry rub into the steaks on both sides; set steaks on a plate and let stand for 15 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk and cook, whisking, until bubbling 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cheese and chipotles in adobo sauce. Season the sauce with salt to taste. Reduce heat to low to keep sauce warm.
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on a large griddle or skillet. Heat pan over high heat until just smoking. Add the steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes for medium. Remove and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks and top with the sauce.
