Compound Butter

[Burt Gummer]

@Chdamn showed me how to make this awhile back, and while I’m sure it’s great on about anything grilled, I’ve only had it on steak so far. First time I did it I made a roll then wrapped it in parchment paper. We’ve since acquired a mold and yesterday I made more and used the mold for the first time.
First time I did it I bought fresh rosemary and thyme from the produce section at the grocery store. I melted two sticks of butter in me cast iron and basically sautéed the rosemary and thyme in it for about 10 minutes. After that I let it cool down naturally and let the herbs soak in the butter for awhile. Then I picked out the stems and put it in a bowl to cool and formed it into a roll afterwards. Looks like this


The flavor it adds to meat is unreal.

Yesterday I melted four sticks of butter(use salted, the flavor is better), and picked some fresh rosemary and thyme that we’ve grown ourselves and put it in the pan and let it simmer for awhile. After it cooled some and I picked the stems out, it was poured into the mold and put in the fridge. Can’t wait to taste it


Anyone else do this? Anyone ever make it with different ingredients?

You can see where it melted and ran onto the plate around these steaks we cooked Friday night, and you can see bits of rosemary on the steaks. Man these were good. Smoked until about 120-125 IT then seared over a flame. So good

Compound butters are great. Try this one: get you a big ol beef thigh bone split longways. Roast the marrow at 450 for about 40-45 min. Scrape out the marrow and use that in your butter with your rosemary and thyme..
Nectar of the Gods...

That’s where I got mine from.

Caution, if you buy butter molds off of Amazon they will also recommend grow lights and all kinds of other marijuana growing, harvesting and processing supplies. Lol.

Actually I've got some extra ice cube trays, maybe make them with that to have individual servings instead of a stick!?

Got to try this! Thanks for posting. Those steaks looked amazing!

Compound butters are fabulous. My favorites are chipotle/lime on roasted corn and toasted pumpkin seed/honey on banana pancakes or corn cakes.

Ummm, recipes. Please and thank you

I do garlic lime and cilantro for corn and it’s always a hit.

Roasted garlic butter stays in my fridge. Love it on mashed potatoes!!

Never thought about getting a mold for it, ordered!

Does this work better than just throwing butter, thyme and garlic in the pan and using it to baste as the steak cooks?

Color's accurate, at least.

Rosemary & thyme butter is heavenly on roasted potatoes.

Today is butter making day. Made 4 sticks in July, used it on nothing but steak. Ran out last night. We went to the restaurant depot a couple weeks ago and Diana bought a huge container of garlic cloves. I mashed a few of those this time and let it simmer in the butter also. It’s cooling now after 4 sticks have been simmering for about 15 minutes with rosemary and thyme as well. I’ll post a pic once I get it in the mold

Compound/"hotel" butter is awesome. I learned how to make it from Chef John on Food Wishes. I make it whenever I cook steak here, since it just pairs so well.

 

[Les White]

went to the restaurant depot

Where's this? Restaurant supply place?

Sharps Air Park Ct off 68. For was always told you need a food service business to get a membership, but they told my uncle that they’d give folks a day pass, just can’t return anything you buy.

When I bake bread to take into work, I like to make maitre d'hotel butter, honey butter, and jam. Gives lots of choices to the people.

 

[Burt Gummer]

In the mold. Gonna let it cool down for a bit before I move it to the Fridge
