[Cucumber] Passing a variable from rake to steps file

Can anybody tell me how to pass a variable from the rake command to my
steps
file using cucumber? I have the following in my Rakefile:

Rakefile

Cucumber::Rake::Task.new do |t|
profile = ENV[‘PROFILE’] || ‘default’
browser_type = ENV[‘BROWSER’] || ‘*chrome’
t.cucumber_opts = “–profile #{profile}”
end

I would like to have access to the “browser_type” variable in my “Before
do”
in my_steps.rb file.

my_steps.rb

Before do
$browser = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new($server_host, $server_port,
“browser_type”, $root_url, $time_out)
end

Thanks for the help.
