For optimal flavor, allow the steaks to dry-brine in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of heat in the chili rub. Ensure the grill is thoroughly preheated to achieve a beautiful sear on the steaks. Resting the steaks after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for the chili rub. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the New York strip steaks on a large plate. Generously sprinkle kosher salt on both sides, followed by the chili rub, ensuring an even coating. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepCreate a makeshift rack by twisting three pieces of foil into 1/2-inch diameter rolls. Place these under the steaks to elevate them from the plate, promoting airflow. Refrigerate uncovered to dry-brine for 3 to 12 hours. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04
StepWhile the steaks dry-brine, prepare the garlic-lime butter. In a mortar, combine the sliced garlic and a pinch of salt. Grind with a pestle to form a smooth paste. Add the softened butter and lime zest, mixing with a small spoon until well combined. Set aside. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
05
StepPreheat a charcoal grill for high heat. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and brush both sides with vegetable oil. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepPlace the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the center. The meat should feel firm and spring back gently to the touch. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
07
StepRemove the steaks from the grill and immediately top with a generous dollop of garlic-lime butter. Garnish with grated lime zest for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal. Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
