Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape it into a log, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Brush each steak with pomegranate molasses, ensuring an even coating. Sprinkle the fire-roasted Hatch chili powder over the steaks, pressing gently to adhere.
- Add olive oil to the hot skillet or grill. Once hot, place the steaks on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time according to your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the compound butter into rounds. Place a round of cilantro-lime compound butter on each filet mignon before serving. Enjoy the steaks with your favorite sides and a drizzle of additional pomegranate molasses if desired.
Notes
For a twist, try adding minced garlic to the compound butter or serve with a fresh salad.
