For the spice paste
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, including stems
3 tablespoons chipotles in adobo sauce (to taste )
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 rib eye steaks, each 2 inches thick (about 1 pound total)
For the cilantro-lime butter
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1
To prepare, build a fire in your grill; if using a gas grill, turn both burners to high.
2
Put all spice paste ingredients in a food processor and puree. Rub steaks all over with paste (it will be rather thick) and set aside.
3
Combine ingredients for cilantro-lime butter in a small bowl and mash with a fork until well mixed and an even consistency. (May be made earlier in the day.)
4
When all coals are covered with gray ash and fire is medium hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 3 to 4 seconds), put steaks on grill directly over coals and cook until well seared, about 7 minutes. Turn and cook another 7 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Remove from heat, top each steak with a couple tablespoons of butter and serve.
