Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until it is malleable but not melted.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, crumbled blue cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Using a fork, mash the ingredients together until well combined and evenly mixed. The resulting mixture should be smooth but with visible pieces of blue cheese.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Transfer the butter mixture onto the center of the wrap.
Shape the butter into a log by rolling the wrap tightly around it. Twist the ends of the wrap to seal the log completely.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the butter is firm. For faster results, you can place the butter in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
When ready to serve, slice the blue cheese butter log into rounds about 1/4 inch thick and place a slice on top of each freshly cooked steak.
Allow the butter to melt over the warm steak and enjoy!
