Description

This steak is spicy and smoky. It will bring out the Texas in you!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE STEAKS:
  • 4 whole Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • ½ teaspoons Chipotle Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 2 whole Top Sirloin Steaks
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • FOR THE FRIZZLED ONIONS:
  • 1 whole Shallot
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
  • ¼ cups Flour
  • ¼ cups Vegetable Oil

Preparation

For the steaks, preheat oven to 400ºF.

Mix together chipotle peppers in sauce with softened butter. Set aside.

Mix together chipotle chili, salt and pepper. Rub on both sides of the steak.

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Cook the steak on both side for 4 minutes. Then place the steak in the skillet into the oven for another 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steak on a plate. Allow to sit for 3-4 minutes before serving.

For the frizzled onions, slice the shallot super thin. Let them soak in the milk for 5 minutes.

Stir salt and pepper into a bowl with the flour.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Remove onions from the milk and dip in flour, then place in the skillet. Cook onions until golden. Remove and allow to drain on a paper towel.

To serve, spoon 1 tablespoon of chipotle butter on the steak, then top with a handful of frizzled onions.

This was an amazing combination of flavors! I used a whole onion (we’re serious onion ring eaters here) & those on top of the chipotle butter/steak was fabulous!

Delicious. I purchased a couple of inexpensive steaks from Aldi grocery store and fixed everything but the onions. Even without the onions it is very good.

I was afraid to cook the steaks anywhere other than the grill and these turned out really good. My new favorite thing is chipotle butter…. yum!

I have had the ancho chili butter on skirt steaks before and have absolutely LOVED it. Onions were AMAZING…only complaint from my husband is that I didn’t make enough of them. Will definately make twice as many onions next time. Thank you SO much for this amazing recipe.
