Grilled Chipotle-Rubbed Steaks with Lime Butter – Celebrate Father’s Day Outdoors!

Are you looking for the perfect way to shower your dad with love and appreciation this Father's Day? Look no further because we have the ultimate solution—grilled Chipotle-Rubbed Steaks with Lime Butter! There's nothing like a juicy and perfectly cooked steak to show your dad how much he means to you. And when that steak is infused with a spicy kick from chipotle powder and topped with a tangy lime compound butter, it becomes a gastronomic experience that he won't soon forget.

For this recipe, we recommend using a thick, boneless cut of steak like a mouthwatering ribeye or hanger. As a dad myself, I can attest that you can never go wrong with a ribeye – it's the prime choice for any meat-loving dad. To add flavor and depth to the steaks, season them with kosher salt and then rub them in a mixture of paprika, cumin, and chipotle powder. This unique spice blend adds a mouthwatering heat and infuses the steaks with a smoky aroma that will leave your taste buds joyful.

Next, fire up the grill and cook those steaks to perfection over medium-high heat. Depending on your dad's preferences, you can cook them to his desired doneness—a beautiful, pink medium-rare or a well-done char. Once done, allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes to lock in all the juicy goodness.

Here's where the magic happens—the lime compound butter. This buttery infusion combines softened unsalted butter, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, and salt. When placed on top of hot, grilled steaks, it melts into a glorious pool of flavor that will take your dad's tastebuds on a journey to paradise.

So, this Father's Day, don't just settle for a regular dinner – elevate the occasion and show your dad how much he means to you with our Grilled Chipotle-Rubbed Steaks with Lime Butter. This hearty and decadent dish will make it a Father's Day to remember, full of love, goodness, and mouthwatering flavors.

Serves: 4

Grilled Chipotle-Rubbed Steaks with Lime Butter Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 small garlic clove, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
• 1/4 teaspoon finely grated zest from 1 lime
• 1 tablespoon fresh juice from 1 lime
• Kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle powder
• Four thick, boneless steaks, such as rib eye or hanger, 10- to 12 ounces each
• Vegetable oil for the grill

Grilled Chipotle-Rubbed Steaks with Lime Butter Directions

1. Combine the butter, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, and salt to taste. Set aside.
2. Combine the paprika, cumin, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the steaks with plenty of kosher salt, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over them and rub into the meat.
3. Oil the grill's grates (or grill pan) and preheat over high heat until smoking.
4. Reduce heat to medium-high and add steaks. Cook without moving until well charred, about 4 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to cook until the center of the steak registers 125°F on an instant-read thermometer for medium-rare, 135°F for medium, or 145°F for well done.
5. Transfer to a platter and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes, adding the lime butter after a few minutes to melt from the residual heat.
6. Slice the steaks and serve immediately.
