Chili Garlic Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Stem the chili, break it open and shake out all of the seeds. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Lower the heat, add the chili and simmer until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool. Use a small knife to scrape the flesh of the chili from the skin. Chop the chili until it forms a paste. You should have about 1 1/2 teaspoons.
• In a small bowl, cream together the chili and the butter. Stir in the garlic and salt. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Mix chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, pepper, and cayenne for rub together in a small bowl.
• Place steaks on a large plate. Sprinkle kosher salt generously on both sides, then sprinkle rub over the salt.
• Twist 3 pieces of foil into 1/2-inch diameter rolls and place them under the steaks to act as a rack and lift the steaks up from the plate. Pop steaks into the fridge and leave uncovered to dry-brine for 3 to 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, place garlic and salt for garlic-lime butter in a mortar. Grind to a paste with a pestle. Add butter and lime zest and stir with a small spoon to combine. Set aside.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat. Remove steaks from the refrigerator and brush with vegetable oil on both sides.
• Place steaks on the preheated grill and cook until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center and meat gently springs back to the touch, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.
• Remove from the grill and top with garlic-lime butter.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a small bowl and microwave until melted (about 45 seconds). Use as a sauce to dip grilled shrimp, or spread on crusty bread before grilling. You can also refrigerate until firm, then top grilled oysters or steak with a dab of it.

Steps:

• Mix all until smooth and store in refrigerator.
