Compound Butter

Start with a stick of room temperature butter. Add in your desired aromatics, which can include anything from finely minced herbs to deliciously smoked woodfired garlic, along with good quality salt, pepper, spices, or even a barbecue rub. Mix everything thoroughly. Once well mixed, roll the compound butter onto a sheet of food-safe plastic wrap and form it into a log. Place the log in the fridge to firm up. When ready to use, while your steak is resting, take a nice thick slice of the compound butter and let it melt over the delicious steak. Compound butters also pair really well with deliciously grilled fish like salmon, chops, and more.
