Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Chop the parsley and chives. Juice the lemon.
  • In a bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, chives, garlic paste, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Transfer the butter to plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Twist the ends of the wrap to secure.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  • Serve slices of compound butter over hot steak and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs. Normally, I'm not a stickler for using fresh herbs in lots of ingredients. I'm all about efficiency and using what you have. But when a recipe like this only uses a handful of ingredients—and when those herbs are such key components here—I really recommend using fresh herbs.
  • Refrigeration. You can store this butter in the fridge for up to five days (the fresh herbs will go bad).
