Steak Butter Recipe
This Steak Butter Recipe is SO EASY! A luscious blend of garlic, fresh herbs, and lemon juice that melts perfectly over your steak for rich, gourmet flavor.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 3 tablespoons flat-leaf Italian parsley finely minced
- 3 tablespoons chives finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 lemon juice juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 to 2 tablespoons)
- coarse salt to taste
- freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start with unsalted butter that’s at room temperature. If too hard, microwave in short bursts of about 5 seconds until soft but not melted.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh herbs—Italian parsley, chives, and thyme. The finer the chop, the better the distribution.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Season with coarse salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Transfer the mixture onto plastic wrap or parchment paper and roll into a log shape, twisting the ends to secure it for easy slicing later.
- Chill the wrapped butter in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
- Slice off a piece and place it on top of your cooked steak just before serving. Watch it melt into the meat, creating a luscious sauce.
