Ingredients
- Steak:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound (about 1/2 inch thick) boneless rib eye or New York strip steak
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 Egg yolks
- 1/2 cup Unsalted European Style Butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
Combine chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and pepper in bowl; mix well. Rub into both sides of steak.
Heat cast iron skillet or heavy bottom oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil, evenly coating pan.
Place steak into skillet; cook 1-2 minutes or until deep golden brown crust forms. Turn steak; continue cooking 1-2 minutes or until crust forms. Place skillet into oven; cook 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130°F (medium-rare), or desired doneness. Remove from skillet; cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
Place water and egg yolks into 1-quart saucepan; beat with whisk until well mixed. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, 2-3 minutes or until egg mixture begins to cook. Add softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to whisk constantly making sure butter melts slowly and egg mixture continues to cook and thicken sauce without curdling. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, lime zest and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Serve sauce immediately with steak.
