How to Make Garlic Herb Compound Butter for the Perfect Steak (5 Minutes)

I love steak! Nothing compliments a steak, like a great compound butter.  I have been experimenting with various herbs and spices.  I believe that I have determined the ultimate combination. It is slightly salty with a hint of acid and herb goodness.  It enhances a steak without taking away from that beefy goodness that we all know and love.

Garlic Herb Compound Butter

In a medium bowl add one stick of room temperature unsalted butter.

Add salt, pepper, garlic and lemon juice to the bowl and mix.

Finely chop the herbs and add them to the bowl and mix.

Spoon the compound butter onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment.  Twist into a roll and refrigerate until hard.  Roughly 2 hours.

Slice the compound butter into discs and serve over a perfectly cooked steak.
