Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter (room temperature, quantity as desired)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives, or rosemary; quantity to taste)
  • Garlic and shallots (finely minced, to taste)
  • Spices and seasonings (smoked paprika, black pepper, chili flakes; adjust per recipe)
  • Citrus zest or juice (lemon or orange zest, a splash)
  • Optional extras: blue cheese (crumbled), anchovies, capers, honey (for variations)

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Start with unsalted butter at room temperature to ensure easy mixing and a smooth consistency throughout your steak butter.
  2. Prepare Fresh Ingredients: Finely chop herbs, mince garlic or shallots, and zest any citrus you’re using. Freshness here makes all the difference in flavor and aroma.
  3. Combine Butter and Flavorings: Mix the softened butter and all chopped ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Use a fork or spatula to evenly distribute the herbs, spices, and extras.
  4. Shape and Chill: Form the butter mixture into a log using parchment paper, then refrigerate until firm. This step makes slicing perfect portions easy when serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once your steak is grilled or pan-seared, top it with a slice of your flavored butter so it melts slowly, infusing each bite with rich, delicious flavor.

Notes

  • Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor and creamy texture.
  • Chop herbs finely to release more aroma and ensure smooth spreading.
  • Adjust salt carefully, as butter already contains salt; taste as you go.
  • Make your steak butter ahead and store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Experiment with nuts, different cheeses, or various citrus zest to customize flavors.
