Grilled Filet Mignon and Chipotle Butter recipe

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 small chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely
chopped (about 1/2-3/4 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
1/2 plus 1/8 tablespoon salt
4 (3 ounce) filet mignons, 1/2 inch thick,
trimmed of all visible fat
1/8 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

Combine butter, chipotle, lime zest, and 1/8 tablespoon of salt in small bowl; mix well. Wrap in plastic wrap, rolling to form a small cylinder. Freeze 10 minutes.

Set up grill for medium hot indirect heat and spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; or heat a grill pan over medium high heat.

Sprinkle filets with remaining salt and pepper. Grill steaks 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Transfer to serving plates.

Slice butter into 4 disks and top each filet with a disk; serve immediately.
