Ingredients

For the Steak Butter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Prepare the Butter. Start by taking your unsalted butter out of the fridge and letting it soften at room temperature. This step is crucial for easy mixing.
  • Step 2: Mix the Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to blend everything thoroughly until well combined.
  • Step 3: Shape the Butter. Once the mixture is uniform, transfer the butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape, twisting the ends to secure it. This will help you create perfect slices later.
  • Step 4: Chill. Place the wrapped butter log in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
  • Step 5: Serve. When you’re ready to serve, simply slice off a piece of your Steak Butter and place it on top of your hot steak. Watch it melt and create a sauce that enhances every bite!

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing; cold butter will result in lumps.
  • Do not skip the chilling step; this is essential for the butter to hold its shape.
  • Experiment with different herbs like basil or chives for a unique flavor profile.
