How to make the Chipotle steak

1.

Take a ribeye steak, wash it thoroughly, and pat it dry. Mix all the seasonings, including cumin powder, black pepper, garlic powder, tomato bouillon, and salt.

2.

Season the steak with two tablespoons of olive oil and coat it well so that all the seasoning adheres to it well. Now add the seasoning and coat the ribeye steak with it. Marinate the seasoned steak for about 15-20 minutes.

3.

Add two tbsp olive oil to the grill pan. Sear the chipotle steak on the grill pan for 4-5 minutes on each side. Once the steak is browned on one side, flip it to the other side. Flip it to the other side until all the excess oil is removed. I like my medium-cooked steak, but if you want it fully done, cook it for a long time until it is fully cooked.

4.

Once the steak is done, rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting into it. Cut the steak into cubes or slices. Serve and enjoy your chipotle steak with the other side of the chipotle dishes.

Expert Tips

• The quality of steak matters. Use high-quality ribeye steak that is marbled in intramuscular fat red meat.
• If you are not in a hurry, increase the time for marination to 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the steak, the better it will absorb flavors.
• Preheat your grill pan for searing the steak. This will help the steak to sear better and quickly.
• Avoid moving the steak too much; place it in one place and let it cook on one side before flipping it to the other. Also, sear the sides of the beef steak.
• If you want your steak to be fully done, sear it for more time on each side.
• Rest the steak for 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to adjust and makes it juicier and tender.

Storage options

If you want to store leftovers, place the whole steak or sliced steak in an airtight container and refrigerate the steak for three days. For long-term storage, freezing is best. Wrap your steak as a whole or slice in aluminum foil, place it in freezer-safe containers, label the date, and freeze it for two months. If you want to reheat the steak, rest for a few minutes. If you consume it, microwave it for 1 minute on both sides or cook it on the grill pan with oil and water on medium flame.  Avoid reheating it on high flame because it will burn the steak from the outside, and the inside will not reheat properly.
