Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until slightly softened, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a small bowl and cool 5 minutes. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons softened butter, cilantro, lime zest, salt, and chipotle pepper to the bowl with the shallots. Blend thoroughly with the back of a spoon, until uniform. Transfer mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap, shaping the butter into a small cylinder in the center. Twist the ends to make a more compact cylinder about 3½ inches long. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use; 45 minutes or longer.
- Prepare the grill for cooking over medium-high heat (500°F).
- Combine the sugar, ancho chili, chili powder, onion powder, coriander, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pat the steaks dry. Lightly coat both sides of each steak with oil and evenly season the spice mixture. Let steaks stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Grill the steaks over high heat, with the lid closed, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. Or cook to your desired doneness after turning at 4 minutes.
- Remove steaks from the grill and let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Remove the cilantro-lime butter from the refrigerator. Cut into 8 slices.
- Top each steak with 1 to 2 slices of the butter, reserving any extra butter for another use.
