GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH CILANTRO LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Take softened butter and place in a medium bowl.
• Stir in the cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, green onion, and garlic paste. Mash with a fork or spoon to fully combine.
• Place butter over plastic wrap and form into a log. Wrap and place in fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
• Brush a grill or grill pan with canola oil and heat to high heat. (You want the grill HOT)
• In a small bowl, combine salt and pepper, garlic paste, olive oil and mustard powder. Stir to combine and form a paste. Rub both sides of steak with the paste.
• Place flank steak on grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side for rare, or 6-8 minutes per side for well done. We do something in between. Please see my Meat Temperature Chart for help deciding.
• Remove from heat.
• Cut into slices, against the grain.
• Before separating, slice butter and allow to melt over the steak.
• Serve and enjoy!

• Peel husks back from ears of corn starting at the top, leaving the husks attached at the bottom of the ears. Remove all the corn silk and close husks over the ears again. Cover corn ears with cold water in a large bowl until husks are thoroughly soaked, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the corn in husks onto the hot grate and grill covered until husks are charred and the corn kernels are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, turning often. Strip off husks and serve corn with cilantro lime butter.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH CILANTRO LIME COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Make Compound Butter:.
• In a small saute pan over med heat, melt 2 tbs. of butter, add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
• Transfer the garlic butter to medium bowl. Add the lime juice, lime zest, and worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine.
• Use a fork to blend in 1 stick of butter. Season with Salt and Pepper, and add in the cilantro. Mix well.
• Roll the butter into a cylinder (like a log) in plastic wrap, and twist the ends. Refrigerate until ready to use (at least 1 hour). Or freeze it if you need it sooner.
• For the Steak:.
• About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator. Rinse and pat dry. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Cover steaks and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to high (let it get really hot). Cook steak for 3 minutes on first side, flip and cook additional 2 minutes on second side for medium rare. Note: If using indoor grill pan cook 1 steak at a time.
• Transfer steaks to platter, top with a slice of compound butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• I served these steaks with my baked broccoli mac and cheese recipe #503983, and a green salad on the side.
