Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Optional Extras

  • 1 shallot, finely minced (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes or crushed red pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Let your unsalted butter sit at room temperature until it becomes soft and easy to mix. This avoids lumps and ensures smooth blending with herbs and spices.
  2. Finely Chop the Herbs and Garlic: Chop parsley, thyme, and rosemary finely, and mince the garlic. Combining these small cuts into the butter helps release their flavors and aromas effectively.
  3. Mix Ingredients Together: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the chopped herbs, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Add optional shallots or chili flakes if desired.
  4. Shape and Chill: Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, rolling it tightly into a log. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, which makes slicing and melting onto steak easier.
  5. Apply to Hot Steaks: After cooking your steak to perfection, place a slice of this butter on top while the meat is still warm. Watch it melt and create a luscious glaze that enhances every bite.

Notes

  • Use high-quality, fresh unsalted butter for a richer taste.
  • Chop herbs finely to maximize flavor and avoid large bits in the butter.
  • Taste the butter before chilling to adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
  • Allow the steak to rest a few minutes before adding the butter so juices redistribute.
  • Make the butter log ahead of time and store in the refrigerator to save time on busy days.
