Mexican Spice-Rubbed Rib Eyes with Lime Butter

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 small garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle powder

Four 12-ounce, 1-inch thick, boneless rib eye steaks

Vegetable oil, for the grill

Directions:

1. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, combine the paprika, cumin and chipotle powder with 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Rub the mixture all over the steaks.

2. Oil the grate and grill the steaks over moderately high heat, turning once, until slightly charred and medium-rare, about 12 minutes. Transfer the steaks to plates and top with the lime butter. Let the steaks stand for 3 to 4 minutes before serving.
