Decadent Herb-Infused Butter for Steak

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

• 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

• 1 tsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• Pinch of salt (optional, depending on butter’s salt content)

• Zest of ½ lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

1. Soften the butter: Let butter sit at room temperature until soft and spreadable.

2. Mix the herbs: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

3. Shape the butter (optional): Spoon the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll into a log and twist the ends. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30–60 minutes.

4. Serve: Slice rounds of the herb butter and place on top of hot, freshly cooked steak. Let melt naturally to coat the meat with rich flavor.
