Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully liquefied but not browned.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the olive oil to the mixture and whisk until all ingredients are fully combined. This will ensure a smooth consistency when brushing.
Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly, but not solidify, before transferring to a heat-safe bowl or ramekin.
Using a food-safe brush, generously apply the butter mixture onto your BBQ items, such as vegetables, steaks, chicken, or seafood, during grilling. Brush on in layers for maximum flavor, applying every few minutes as you cook.
Serve your BBQ dish immediately after grilling, with any leftover butter mixture brushed on just before serving for an extra flavor boost.
