Triple Chili Butter Steaks

Difficulty: Easy

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Steaks: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a 2:1:1 ratio. Set them aside while you prepare the triple chili butter.
  2. Make the Triple Chili Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with Fresno pepper, chipotle pepper, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, diced shallot, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Reverse Sear the Steaks: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the steaks on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and cook in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of about 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare, roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Sear and Baste: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it’s smoking hot. Add the steaks and sear for 1-2 minutes per side. During the last minute of searing, add a generous dollop of the triple chili butter to the pan, basting the steaks as the butter melts. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Gochujang Mop Sauce: While the steaks rest, whisk together gochujang, honey, rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, and soy sauce in a small bowl. This mop sauce can be used as a dip or brushed onto the steak for an extra layer of flavor.
  6. Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the gochujang mop sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped chives.
