Instructions

  1. Mix the butter, chilies, cilantro and tequila in a bowl to blend.
  2. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Spoon the chili butter over the center of the plastic wrap. Roll the chili butter into a cylinder. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
  3. Cut the chili butter log crosswise into 8 slices.
  4. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and black pepper.
  5. Prepare a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. (I used a cast iron skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter.).
  6. Grill the steaks for five minutes. Turn the steaks over and top each with 2 of the chili butter slices. Continue grilling for 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until the butter begins to melt.
  7. Transfer the steaks to plates and serve.
