Herb butters are so quick to make and are great to have in the freezer - fantastic to have with vegetables, chicken, lamb chops or just on some toasted ciabatta. They can be made with any herbs - thyme, lemon zest and garlic, or sun-dried tomato, basil and garlic. This dish has summer savory in it, which is a very English herb, is quite strong, and apparently stops flatulence! And is a great substitute for salt and pepper.

Time 2h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 pound rib-eye of beef, off the bone
Oil
2 cloves garlic
Small bunch (20 grams) summer savory leaves
Pinch sea salt
8 3/4 ounces (250 grams-2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Potatoes, peeled, cut in to 1 inch dice and cooked for 10 to 15 minutes
Fresh rosemary leaves
1 bulb garlic
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C degrees/400 degrees F/ Gas Mark 6.
  • Remove some of the rosemary leaves from the stalks by running your thumb and forefinger down the length of the stalk. Sharpen the ends of the rosemary skewer to make them into little arrows, then pierce them through the beef to flavor it. Chop up the rosemary leaves and press onto the beef on both sides. Cover and allow to stand for 1/2 hour until room temperature. (Beef tastes better if cooked at room temperature.)
  • Make the butter by bashing the garlic, summer savory and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then combine with the softened butter, mixing to flavor all of it. Put into buttered paper, roll into a sausage shape, and chill.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, then toss in the colander to chuff up.
  • Drizzle some oil over the beef and pat onto both sides. Heat a frying pan suitable for the oven, and cook the beef for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the pan, add the potatoes with some rosemary and bashed garlic, salt and pepper, then put the beef back into the pan. Put the pan into the oven and roast the beef and potatoes for about 30 minutes.
  • To serve, slice the meat and place 2 slices of the butter on top. (Freeze the remaining butter.)

HERBED COMPOUND BUTTER



Herbed Compound Butter image

A compound butter - a stick of butter seasoned with herbs, lemon and garlic or shallots - is one of the most versatile things to keep on hand. You can store it in the freezer, then slice it whenever you want to add herby richness to a dish. Use it on steak, fish, chicken or even mashed or roasted sweet potatoes. And feel free to vary the herbs to suit your taste. For a kick, a pinch or two of chile powder or a drizzle of hot sauce would do the trick.

Categories     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Steak     Summer     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the herbed butter:
1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, thyme leaves, and marjoram leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the steak:
2 porterhouse steaks, (2-inch thick), about 4 pounds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the herbed butter:
  • In a bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the herbs and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture generously into ramekins and use the back of a butter knife to smooth the surface, removing any extra. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  • Cook the steak:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Let steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon oil to pan. When oil begins to smoke, add the first steak and cook until brown and crusted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in pan and spoon over steak to baste. Remove steak from heat and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with the second steak.
  • Place both steaks on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and place in oven to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes (or 125°F for medium, about 10 minutes). Transfer steaks to a wooden board to rest, about 10 minutes.
  • To serve: Cut meat off both sides of the bone, leaving you with two pieces of steak. Slice each steak across the grain, then rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Serve with herbed butter.

HERB BUTTER FOR STEAK



Herb Butter for Steak image

If you've ever purchased herbs for a recipe and you have some left over, put them to good use by making an herb butter. This recipe uses parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, because I have them growing in my garden. If your family prefers a different combination, go ahead and substitute what they like. The ratio is 1/2 cup of butter to 1/4 cup minced herbs, so use any herbs you like. Simply place a portion on top of a cooked steak, just like a fancy steakhouse would do.

Categories     Compound Butters

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup unsalted butter, softened, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
aluminum foil or parchment paper

Steps:

  • Place 7 tablespoons softened, unsalted butter in a small mixing bowl.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked garlic into reserved softened butter.
  • Press minced fresh herbs into the garlic-butter mixture using a rubber spatula, stirring and pressing until evenly distributed. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firmed up, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn mixture out onto a 9x12-inch strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Form mixture into a log, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll herb butter up in the foil or parchment, twisting the ends and closing with a twist tie or rubber band.
  • Return to the refrigerator until firmed up, about 40 minutes.
  • Slice into 8 equal portions and serve on top of steak or other dishes. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter: The quality of your butter will make a big difference in the flavor of your herbed butter. Look for a butter that is made from fresh, sweet cream and has a high fat content.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your herbed butter the best flavor. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overmix the butter: Overmixing the butter will make it too soft and spreadable. You want the butter to be firm enough to hold its shape, but not so hard that it's difficult to spread.
  • Let the butter chill before using: Chilling the butter will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread. You can chill the butter for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use herbed butter on a variety of foods: Herbed butter is a great addition to steak, fish, chicken, vegetables, and even pasta. It can also be used as a spread for bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Herbed butter is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of foods. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious herbed butter that will add a touch of elegance to your next meal.
