AIR FRYER STEAK WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Air Fryer Steak with Garlic-Herb Butter image

Yes, you can even cook steak in an air fryer! We found that thicker cuts, like sirloin, are best -- they turn nice and browned on the outside without overcooking. Plus, there's very little clean up. We added a homemade garlic-herb butter to melt over the steak for a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 1-pound sirloin steak, about 1 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F. Season the steak on both sides with a generous pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Place the steak in the center of the air fryer basket and cook until desired doneness, about 10 minutes for medium-rare, 12 minutes for medium and 14 minutes for medium-well. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow to rest, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mash together the butter, parsley, chives, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small bowl until combined. Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Top with the garlic-herb butter.

ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Lemon-Garlic Herb Butter image

As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH LEMONY GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Grilled Oysters With Lemony Garlic-Herb Butter image

Garlic, lemon, herbs and butter form a classic European pairing that is perfectly at home spooned into a hot grilled oyster, but if that's not your style, try out these recipes for Buttery Soy-Sake Glaze or Harissa-Parmesan Butter - or, better yet, make all three. Any leftover flavored butter and sauces are excellent melted over grilled vegetables, such as asparagus or zucchini, or over grilled chicken, fish or even steak, and they can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks or in the freezer for several months. When shopping for oysters, look for specimens with deeply cupped bottom shells in order to help retain their natural liquor and provide ample space for the flavored butter.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     dinner, seafood, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 24 oysters

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into pats
1 ounce fresh parsley leaves (about 1 packed cup), roughly chopped
1 ounce fresh basil leaves (about 1 packed cup)
6 medium garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 oysters, scrubbed clean of any sand or grit under cool running water.

Steps:

  • Ignite a full chimney of coals and spread out under one side of the grill once they are fully covered in gray ash, or heat half the burners of a gas grill to high. Cover and let the grill heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut off a sheet of aluminum foil twice the length of a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet. Crumple it up so that it fits into the baking sheet. The crumpled foil should be able to support the cupped side of the oysters without allowing them to tip over.
  • Prepare the garlic-herb butter: In a food processor, combine the butter, parsley, basil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Process until the herbs are finely chopped and there are no large chunks of butter remaining, about 30 seconds total, stopping to scrape down the sides of the processor with a rubber spatula a few times as needed. Transfer the mixture to a small, oven-safe saucepan.
  • Using tongs, arrange the oysters over the hot side of the grill, placing them with the cupped sides down, doing your best to set them in the grates so that oyster juices don't pour out of the cups as they open. Cover and cook, checking on them every minute or so, and transferring any oysters that have begun to gape open to the foil-lined baking sheet. After a total of 4 minutes, transfer any remaining oysters to the foil whether they have opened or not. Place the saucepan on the cooler side of the grill.
  • As soon as the oysters are cool enough to handle, pry off the top shells with a butter knife or oyster knife, severing through the muscle that holds the oyster to the shell and retaining as much juice in the shell as possible. For oysters that aren't already gaping open, the easiest way to pry off the lids is by inserting the tip of the knife into the joint and firmly twisting it until the joint releases.
  • Spoon a generous teaspoon of the garlic-herb butter (which should be fully melted by now) into each oyster, then return the oysters directly onto the grates on the hot side of the grill. Cook, uncovered, until the sauce mixture is bubbling hot, about 1 minute. Return the oysters to the foil-lined baking sheet and serve immediately.

MY MOST COVETED SECRET: HERB-GARLIC BUTTER HAMBURGERS ON A GRILL



My Most Coveted Secret: Herb-Garlic Butter Hamburgers on a Grill image

This recipe is, quite honestly, my most coveted of all! Once you taste these wonderful grilled burgers, all other burgers will take a back seat to these for the rest of your life! I made these for my son about a year ago, and he insists on nothing else from the grill. Just wait and see...

Provided by Fauve

Categories     Meat

Time 41m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons finely chopped mixed fresh herbs (including parsley,basil,oregano,chives, or tarragon leaves)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1 1/2 lbs ground round or 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
coarse salt
black pepper
6 deli hamburger buns (such as kaiser)
melted butter

Steps:

  • Place all the herbs, garlic, pepper, and butter in a small mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until slightly fluffy.
  • (you can do the mixing with a or food processor) Place a 12" square piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface and mound the flavored butter in the center.
  • Roll herb butter into cylinder shape within plastic, twisting the ends to compress the butter.
  • Chill the butter in the refrigerator or freeze until firm.
  • Butter will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
  • Burger Preparation: Make hamburger patties as usual, but for each one place your thumb in the middle and press an indentation almost through (but not quite) to the other side of the meat.
  • Unwrap formed butter and cut crosswise into 1/4-1/2" discs. (You will be using approximately 4 tablespoons Herb-Garlic Butter per 1 1/2 pound of ground meat).
  • Form hamburger patty fully around one butter disc, pressing gently to seal the disc into the dead center of the meat.
  • (not too much pressing! It will make your burgers dense and tough) Place burgers on hot grill (preheated to high if using a gas grill).
  • Grill burgers until cooked to doneness, (about 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-done).
  • Place burgers on a serving plate, add cheese, if desired, but do not serve for about 5 minutes, to allow flavors to fully meld.
  • Brush buns with melted butter and toast on the grill for a few seconds.
  • Serve with any toppings of your choice.

GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Grilled Jumbo Shrimp With Garlic-Herb Butter image

A very simple recipe with just enough seasoning to enhance the flavor of the grilled shrimp without overpowering it.

Roasted Turkey with Garlic-herb Butter image

There are many ways to roast a turkey. Our preparation becomes very aromatic as it cooks, thanks to roasted garlic and herbs.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 garlic head
Olive oil, for drizzling
3 tablespoons each chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, sage, and flat-leaf parsley
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature plus more for basting
3 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 fresh turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
Sauteed Cipollini Onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Place the garlic head on a square of aluminum foil, and drizzle with oil. Loosely wrap garlic, and roast until fragrant and very soft, about 1 hour. Remove from oven; let cool.
  • In a small bowl, combine herbs and butter. Slice off tip of roasted garlic head with a serrated knife; discard. Squeeze garlic head firmly over bowl to release softened cloves. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth.
  • Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Rinse turkey with cool water; pat dry. Tuck wing tips under body. Place turkey on a roasting rack in a heavy roasting pan; add 1/2 cup water to pan.

  • Roast until skin begins to brown, 50 to 55 minutes (tent with foil if herbs begin to burn). Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees; continue to roast turkey, basting with additional butter, until a leg rotates easily in the joint, 70 to 90 minutes more (depending on size of turkey). Insert an instant-read thermometer into thickest part of thigh (avoid the bone) to see if temperature has reached 180 degrees; if not, baste turkey, return to oven, and roast until temperature is 180 degrees. Let turkey rest, loosely covered with foil, at least 30 minutes before carving. Arrange turkey on a platter with onions, and serve.

TROUT WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER HERB SAUCE



Trout with garlic lemon butter herb sauce image

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.5 pounds trout or salmon, or arctic char - 2 large fish fillets with skin on the bottom
2 tablespoons olive oil more, if needed
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (dried thyme, oregano, parsley, combined together)
1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
4 cloves garlic cloves diced
3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons butter softened
2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Steps:

  • Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
  • In a large skillet (large enough to fit 2 fish fillets), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking. To the hot skillet with olive oil, add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down. Cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
  • Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2-4 minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
  • Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
  • After the fish is cooked through, off heat, using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
  • Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
  • Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and serve.

LIZ'S EASY GARLIC HERB BUTTER



Liz's Easy Garlic Herb Butter image

I enjoy going to the grocery store, buying a product that I enjoy and finding a way to make it homemade and less expensive. Sometimes being on a tight budget does not mean you have to sacrifice the quality of the food you cook. I don't cook gourmet or better all the time but sometimes simple things can really turn a simple meal into something better. You can use fresh herbs if you prefer but I just use the Herbs I have handy in my herb rack. This garlic herb recipe is something I just tried one day for kicks and now I love it. I'm never buying it in a store again and hopefully you will love it too. This garlic herb butter goes wonderfully with ANYTHING. Use it with rice, meats, potatoes, and vegetables. Enjoy!

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pinches dried marjoram
2 pinches dried thyme
2 pinches dried rosemary
2 pinches dried basil
1 pinch dried bay leaf (chopped not whole leaves)
1 cup unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, grated
lemon juice (very very little amount)

Steps:

  • Make sure that your butter is softened. NOT MELTED.
  • Put all of your ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat it until everything is mixed well and incorporated. Your butter will probably be a little creamy.
  • Scrape the bowl and put your garlic butter in a container that has a lid and close the lid completely to make sure that no outside air will come inches
  • Stick your dish in either the fridge or your freezer.
  • I like to make this butter a day in advance so all of the ingredients can hang out. You don't have to let it sit if you need to use it immediately.
  • NOTE : Keep in mind that a little will go a long way.

Tips

  • To make the butter spreadable at room temperature, let it soften for about 30 minutes before using.
  • To make the butter more flavorful, use fresh herbs and garlic.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your garlic herb butter, such as lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese, or chopped nuts.
  • Garlic herb butter can be used to flavor roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or fish. It can also be used as a spread for bread or crackers.

Conclusion

Garlic herb butter is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. So next time you're looking for a way to add flavor to your food, try using garlic herb butter. You won't be disappointed!
