Instructions

  • In a small skillet over medium heat on the stove, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallot and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a small bowl and cool for 5 minutes. To the bowl with the shallot, add the remaining 1/4 cup butter, the cilantro, lime zest, salt, and ground chipotle pepper, blending thoroughly. Transfer the butter to a sheet of plastic wrap, shaping it into a compact cylinder about 3½ inches long. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap and refrigerate the butter until ready to use.
  • Combine the rub ingredients. Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season evenly with the rub. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400° to 500°F) using the Weber Gourmet BBQ System Cooking Grate. Set the Weber Gourmet BBQ System Sear Grate in the grate opening and preheat for 15 minutes.
