Preparation Steps

  • Season steaks with kosher salt and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Combine all ingredients for the chili lime butter in a food processor and puree. Transfer to an airtight container, reserving 2 tablespoons and refrigerate the rest.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
  • Mix together blackened seasoning spices in a small bowl.
  • Brush both sides of steaks with reserved softened chili lime butter and rub in blackened seasoning evenly.
  • Add grapeseed oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat.
  • Place steaks in the skillet and cook about 6 minutes per side. Check internal temperature to be 5°F below desired doneness as it will rise while resting.
  • Remove steaks from skillet, place on a cutting board, and top each steak with a spoonful of chili lime butter to melt as they rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Trim steak fat, slice thinly, and serve immediately.
