A compound butter is a simple and highly effective way to bring your steak to next-level, steakhouse flavor.
Combine your compound butter ingredientsL Softened butter, chopped bacon, chives, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper
Heavily salting your steak at least an hour in advance will help draw moisture from the surface, which can be wiped away before cooking (along with the excess salt). This will help your steak develop a beautiful and flavorful crust when seared.
Once the ingredients are combined, wrap your butter mixture in plastic wrap, creating a stick or log shape. Place the wrapped butter in the fridge to allow it to harden.
Once your steak has finished cooking, slice off several tabs of butter to be placed on the steak while it rests.
Place the tabs of compound butter on top of the steak while it rests, allowing the butter to melt over the top of the hot steak.
