Ingredients

Butter Base

  • Unsalted, high-quality butter (softened)

Fresh Herbs

  • Parsley
  • Thyme
  • Rosemary
  • Chives

Aromatics

  • Garlic (minced)
  • Shallots (minced)

Acidic Touch

  • Lemon juice or zest

Spices and Seasonings

  • Peppercorns (freshly ground)
  • Smoked paprika
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Let your unsalted butter sit at room temperature until it’s soft and spreadable but not melted, ensuring easy and smooth mixing.
  2. Prepare the Add-ins: Finely chop fresh herbs, mince garlic or shallots, and zest the citrus to maintain uniformity and consistent flavor in every bite.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: Mix the softened butter with herbs, aromatics, spices, and a touch of citrus zest or juice until evenly blended with harmonious flavors and colors.
  4. Shape and Chill: Place the butter mixture on parchment or plastic wrap, roll into a log shape, then refrigerate or freeze until firm for easy slicing.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon or slice the steak butter over hot, freshly cooked steaks allowing it to melt slowly and infuse rich buttery goodness with every bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Fresh herbs brighten the flavor more than dried; do not skip.
  • Balance richness with a bit of acidic lemon juice or zest.
  • Adjust salt carefully if using salted butter to avoid oversalting.
  • Pre-slice butter rounds before storing for quick use.
