This recipe is from the Take Home Chef series. Maybe the best steak you've ever eaten! We loved it!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, room temperature
• 2  tablespoons  chopped chipotle chiles in adobo (from a can)
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro
• 1  tablespoon  tequila
•  coarse salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 4 (10 -12 ounce)  beef t-bone steaks

Directions

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.
