Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 grams Blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before starting.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and crumbled blue cheese.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl.
Using a fork or a rubber spatula, mash and mix the ingredients until fully combined and smooth.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper flat on a clean work surface. Spoon the blue cheese butter mixture onto the center.
Shape the butter mixture into a log by rolling it tightly in the plastic wrap or parchment paper. Twist the ends to seal.
Place the wrapped butter log in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Once firm, slice the butter into discs as needed and place on top of hot steak just before serving to allow it to melt over the meat.
Store any leftover blue cheese butter in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
