Try this out 'wainian. It takes a bit of preparation (the Chipotle powder) but will last you all summer.
Robert's Chipotle Steaks
1. Smoke fresh RIPE (meaning red) jalapenos (green are OK in a pinch but red are better) in your smoker at low heat for an entire weekend. Use Mesquite chunks to smoke with. This is labor intensive but worth it. Finish drying in a dehydrator (I know, I know, not traditional but effective). Grind with a blender or (as I do) a cheap coffee grinder into powder.
2. Prepare 2" thick steaks by tenderizing with a nail/needle style tenderizer. Rub with a SMALL amount of seasoned salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then rub with a copious amount of Chipotle powder. Sear all sides on the grill then move to a lower heat area and cook to your preference (rare, medium etc).
Believe it or not, this method of cooking steaks makes them flavorful with just a hint of heat. If you are a pepperfool like me, PM me for the optional Robert's Thermonuclear Habanero Sauce recipe. Goes great with the steak if you want more kick.
