Best Herb Butter Recipe for Steak

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened, divided
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• aluminum foil or parchment paper

Instructions

1. Place 7 tablespoons of softened, unsalted butter into a small mixing bowl.
2. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir the cooked garlic into the reserved softened butter.
3. Incorporate minced fresh herbs into the garlic-butter mixture using a rubber spatula. Stir and press until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firmed up, approximately 20 minutes.
4. Turn the herb butter mixture out onto a 9x12-inch strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
5. Shape the mixture into a log, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll the herb butter tightly in the foil or parchment, twisting the ends and securing them with a twist tie or rubber band.
6. Return the wrapped herb butter to the refrigerator until it is firmed up, approximately 40 minutes.
7. Slice the herb butter into 8 equal portions and serve on top of steak or other dishes. Wrap any leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
