How to make?

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

Juice and zest of 1 lime

1 tablespoon minced cilantro

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon raw sugar

4 rib-eye steaks

1 tablespoon neutral oil

Directions

Make the butter by stirring in the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro. Once well-incorporated, roll the butter up in a small piece of plastic wrap to make a log, then refrigerate or freeze to harden. Combine the cayenne, salt, and sugar to make a rub. Rub the steaks with the oil, then the spice mixture. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill and grill over medium-hot until desired temperature. Avoid high heat, which can burn the sugar and turn it bitter. Allow the steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes, then pull out the butter and slice into disks. Place them on top of the steaks to melt and serve.
