Time: 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes to chill. Compound butter (butter blended with flavorings) is a great and simple way to add taste and texture to a dish. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened |
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint |
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
finely shredded zest of 1 lemon |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Whirl ingredients in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes.
2. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Using a rubber spatula, scrape butter lengthwise onto plastic. Lift top edge of plastic up and over butter to meet bottom edge of plastic. Roll butter toward you, evening it out into a log about 4 in. long. Twist ends of plastic to seal. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
3. Remove plastic and slice off 1/4-in. portions (1 tbsp.) to serve over steaks.
4. Make ahead: Up to 1 week chilled, or up to 1 month frozen, wrapped in several layers of plastic.
