Compound Butter / Steak Butter
This simple homemade steak butter brings rich steakhouse flavor right to your kitchen with a blend of savory dry herbs, garlic, and creamy butter. The combination of rosemary, thyme, parsley, and black pepper creates the perfect finishing touch for steaks fresh off the grill or cast iron pan. As the butter melts, it coats the meat with warm buttery flavor and herbs in every bite.
This butter is also delicious on burgers, baked potatoes, grilled vegetables, or warm crusty bread. You can spoon it into a small container or ramekin for an easy farmhouse-style presentation or roll it into a butter log for slicing.
Ingredients
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed fine
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
Directions
Bring butter to room temperature until soft and easily mixable. This helps the herbs and seasonings blend smoothly throughout the butter.
Place softened butter into a medium mixing bowl.
Add garlic powder, parsley, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Mix thoroughly until the herbs and seasonings are evenly blended throughout the butter.
Spoon the butter into a small container, ramekin, or jar, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. You can also place the butter onto parchment paper and roll into a log shape if preferred.
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours or until firm.
Serve a spoonful over hot steak just before serving and allow it to melt naturally over the meat.
