- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons chipotle rub
- 1/4 cup dried Mexican oregano*
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 5 dried chipotle chiles*, stemmed, seeded, and deveined (wear rubber gloves)
- 5 ancho chiles*, seeded and deveined (wear rubber gloves)
- 25 garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 cups coarse salt
- 3 cups Drunken Beans
- 1/4 cup Green Chile Mushroom Salsa Butter
- Chipotle Fried Onion Rings
- available at Mexican markets and some specialty produce markets.
- Prepare grill.
- Pat steaks dry and brush on both sides with oil.
- Rub steaks with chipotle rub and in a shallow baking dish large enough to fit steaks in one layer marinate them at room temperature up to 30 minutes.
- Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until crusty and medium-rare, about 4 minutes on each side.
- (Alternatively, steaks may be cooked in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan.)
- Transfer steaks to a warm platter and let stand 5 minutes.
- Divide beans among 4 small deep platters and top with steaks.
- Dollop salsa butter on steaks and top with onion rings.
- In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, and transfer to a small bowl.
- Cool oregano completely and in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
- In a heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, using tongs, fry chiles, 1 or 2 at a time, turning them, until puffed and just beginning to brown, about 10 seconds.
- (Do not let chiles burn or rub will be bitter.)
- Transfer chiles as fried to paper towels to drain and cool until crisp.
- Wearing rubber gloves, break chiles into pieces and in coffee/spice grinder grind fine in batches.
- In a food processor grind oregano and chiles with garlic and salt until mixture is a shaggy, saltlike consistency.
- If mixture seems moist, on a large baking sheet spread it into a thin, even layer and dry in middle of an oven set a lowest temperature until no longer moist, about 1 hour.
- Wearing rubber gloves, break up any lumps with your fingers.
- (Chipotle rub keeps in an airtight container, chilled, 6 months.
- Regrind rub before using.
- Makes about 3 1/4 cups.)
