Preparation

Step 1

1. For chipotle butter, in a small bowl stir together butter, shallots, snipped basil or cilantro, lime juice, and chipotle pepper until combined; set aside.

2. In another small bowl stir together cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in oil and adobo sauce until a paste forms. Spread mixture over both sides of steaks.
