Shallot-Herb Butter for Steak


Add rich flavor to any steak dinner with this easy-to-make compound butter – a blend of herbs, spices, or other ingredients with butter.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 medium shallot, finely minced or grated

  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
  • Additional pat of butter to saute the shallots

DIRECTIONS

  • Leave the butter out on the counter until it softens.

  • Mash the stick of butter with the cooked shallots, sea salt, and your choice of herbs.
  • Roll the butter into a log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Slice and serve on top of the steak. Try it on top of your tenderloin.
