Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon New Mexican chile powder or chile powder
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-in-the-Raw
- 2-1 inch thick bone-in ribeye steaks, (about 1 pound each)
Whiskey Butter Ingredients:
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, soaked in whiskey
- 3 teaspoons minced parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 teaspoons Jack Daniels whiskey
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or salt
- Ground white pepper to taste
Instructions
- For rub, in bowl combine chile powders, paprika, white pepper, black pepper, and sugar.
- Prepare grill for direct cooking over low heat (about 300 degrees F). Meanwhile, let meat come to room temperature about 20 minutes before grilling. Pat meat with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Just before grilling, brush steaks with oil. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of rub and a little salt on steaks; pat in with fingers.
- Place steaks directly over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Turn and grill 5 more minutes for medium-rare doneness. Remove from grill. Let rest at least 5 minutes.
- Top hot steaks with Whiskey Butter. To serve, slice steaks.
Directions for Whiskey Butter:
- Combine butter, shallot, parsley, mustard, Worcestershire, Jack Daniel’s, salt, and white pepper. Mix well. Drop butter in spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Roll in plastic and smooth out to form a round log. Refrigerate until hard and easy to cut, at least 3 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
