ingredients

4 boneless rib-eye steaks (8 to 10 oz. each, 1-in. thick) or 4 New York strip steaks (8 to 10 oz. each, 1-in. thick)
oil, for coating the grill grate
FRAGRANT CHILE RUB
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground dried ancho chile powder
1 -3 teaspoon ground dried chipotle powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cumin
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground black pepper
SALSA BUTTER
1 ¹⁄₂ cups purchased salsa
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

directions

Pat steaks dry with paper towels, then scatter the chile rub over the steaks, patting it in with your fingers to adhere. Let the meat rest at room temperature as you heat the grill.
Oil a grill rack and arrange 4 to 5 inches from heat. Prepare grill for a hot fire or high temperature on a gas grill.
Grill steaks until darkly crusted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium low (on a gas grill) or move steaks to low-heat area (for a charcoal grill), cover and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare to medium (135 degrees to 140 degrees).
Transfer to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 to 8 minutes. Serve topped with generous dollops of Salsa Butter.
To prepare the Fragrant Chile Rub: Combine all ingredients to blend.
For the Salsa Butter: Bring the salsa to a boil in a small saucepan or skillet and cook until most of the liquid is gone. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until the sauce is smooth. Serve warm.

Another winner! This is the best-flavored steak I have had in a very long time. Loved the spices and the salsa butter -- they just compliment each other so well. DH absolutely loved this seasoning mix and ate every bite of his steak - nothing left over for the puppies. This is going to be my new "go-to" seasoning mix for sure! Served this steak with corn on the cob and fresh green beans with new potatoes. Made for ZWT-8-Family Picks.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
