Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F). Season the 16 oz ribeye steak on both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Step 2: Char the 1 medium poblano pepper directly over the grill grates, turning occasionally, until blackened and softened, about 8 minutes. Place in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes.
- Step 3: Peel the skin off the poblano pepper, remove seeds, and finely chop. In a small bowl, combine the chopped poblano, 4 tbsp unsalted butter (softened), 1 large minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp lime juice. Mix until smooth.
- Step 4: Brush the steak lightly with 2 tbsp olive oil. Grill the ribeye for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
- Step 5: Remove the steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Top with a generous dollop of the smoked poblano butter while still hot, allowing it to melt into the meat before serving.
