Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small mixing bowl, place 7 tablespoons of the softened, unsalted butter.

02

Step

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Stir the cooked garlic into the reserved softened butter.

03

Step

Using a rubber spatula, gently press the minced fresh herbs into the garlic-butter mixture, stirring and pressing until evenly distributed. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firmed up (about 20 minutes).

04

Step

Turn the mixture out onto a 9x12-inch strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper.

05

Step

Form the mixture into a log, approximately 6 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll the herb butter up in the foil or parchment, twisting the ends and securing with a twist tie or rubber band.

06

Step

Return to the refrigerator until completely firmed up (about 40 minutes).

07

Step

Slice into 8 equal portions and serve atop steak or other dishes. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 4 days.

For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of melted butter for the garlic step.
Experiment with different herb combinations to customize the butter to your liking. Some great additions include oregano, chives, or tarragon.
This herb butter is also delicious on grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables.
