Instructions

  • place the softened butter into a mixing bowl along with the oil, pressed garlic, lemon zest, parsley, chives, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Use a whisk or fork to mix everything together well.
  • Place the garlic herb butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it up tightly into a log shape. Twist the ends to seal it well.
  • Place the compound butter into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving over cooked steak.
    Steps to make Compound Butter for Steak: whisk together the butter, salt, parsley, rosemary, chives, lemon juice, oil, and garlic, then wrap it in plastic wrap.

Notes

  • Measure the herbs before chopping- If you measure the herbs already chopped, you will use way more than you are supposed to.
  • Chop the herbs finely- Avoid big pieces of parsley or rosemary by chopping them small.
  • Wrap the butter up tight- This helps mold the butter and tightly wrapping it will get out air bubbles.
  • Refrigerate before serving- The butter is very soft at this point so make sure to refrigerate it for at least an hour to make it easy to slice.
