Easy Steak Butter
My steak butter takes only 10 quick minutes to prepare before the refrigerator does the rest! This garlic butter for steak is made with fresh herbs for the best flavor. I love to keep a batch of it in the fridge so that my family can enjoy it with any and every steak recipe!

Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Finely mince the garlic and rosemary. Remove the thyme leaves and rosemary from their woody stems.
- Place the butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and salt into a small bowl.
- Stir the butter and herbs together until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Place the steak butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll it into a tight log, twisting the ends closed.
- Place the steak butter in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Unwrap and cut thin slices to serve with steak or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Allow the butter to soften at room temperature before starting so it's much easier to mix in the garlic and herbs.
- Since this compound butter recipe already includes salt, add less salt to the actual steak itself.
- Dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but the flavor isn’t quite as intense and the texture isn’t as pleasant.
- Remove as much air as possible when forming the log with plastic wrap. This will help with sturdiness and ensure clean, even slices.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic or in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
