Working our way through this butter…. What should I make next #butter #steak #tomahawksteak
If you're a fan of elevating steak dinners with rich, flavorful butter, making your own herby compound butter is a game changer. From my experience, combining roasted garlic, lemon zest, and fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley adds incredible depth to the butter. The key is to soften the butter slightly first, then mix in finely chopped herbs and roasted garlic for that mellow, sweet flavor. Freezing portions of your compound butter in small logs or slices is super convenient—just thaw a piece to place on a hot steak right off the grill for instant flavor enhancement. Using flaky salt and freshly cracked pepper on your tomahawk steaks before grilling boosts the meat’s natural flavors and complements the herb butter beautifully. I recently upgraded to a grill with a side burner and salamander, which makes it easier to sear and finish thicker cuts like tomahawks perfectly. While the grill heats up, prepare the butter and chill it in the fridge or freeze it for later use. When ready, the butter melts slowly over the sizzling steak, infusing every bite. Remember, you can create variations by adding different herbs or citrus zest to customize your butter. And for quick prep, a food processor can be used, though I enjoy mixing by hand to preserve texture. Whether you’re cooking for family or friends, this herby butter on tomahawk steak is sure to impress with its rustic yet gourmet appeal.
