CHILI GRILL SALT

• Combine all ingredients and store in an old spice jar with a shaker top. Sprinkle on everything.

GRILLED CHILI STEAK WITH GARLIC-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, pepper, and cayenne for rub together in a small bowl.
• Place steaks on a large plate. Sprinkle kosher salt generously on both sides, then sprinkle rub over the salt.
• Twist 3 pieces of foil into 1/2-inch diameter rolls and place them under the steaks to act as a rack and lift the steaks up from the plate. Pop steaks into the fridge and leave uncovered to dry-brine for 3 to 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, place garlic and salt for garlic-lime butter in a mortar. Grind to a paste with a pestle. Add butter and lime zest and stir with a small spoon to combine. Set aside.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat. Remove steaks from the refrigerator and brush with vegetable oil on both sides.
• Place steaks on the preheated grill and cook until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center and meat gently springs back to the touch, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.
• Remove from the grill and top with garlic-lime butter.

GRILLED SWEET CHILI LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Rinse lamb chops and pat dry. Set aside.
• Whisk lemon juice, white wine, brown sugar, parsley, mint, vinegar, chili powder, chipotle powder, garlic, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper together in a large mixing bowl to emulsify. Add lamb chops. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook lamb chops on the preheated grill until browned and only slightly pink in the centers, brushing with marinade frequently, about 6 minutes per side. Stand chops upright for the final turn, which heats the bone and cooks the meat internally. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Rest lamb chops for about 3 minutes before serving.

CHILI SALT FOR FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Combine equal amounts of ingredients.
• Pour into an unused salt shaker.
• Shake onto French Fries after they are cooked.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHILE-LIME SALT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Finely zest limes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt over zest; combine with your hands. Spread mixture into an even layer and bake until dried, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then stir in chile powder. Chile-lime salt can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
• Peel back corn husks toward stem ends; remove silks. Rewrap husks and tie with long pieces of husk or twine. Soak corn in a large bowl of water 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning, until steamed through and charred in places, 12 to 15 minutes. To serve, unwrap husks, brush each ear with butter, sprinkle with chile-lime salt, and sprinkle with cheese. Garnish with chopped jalapenos and cilantro.
