Compounding Good Taste - Rosemary, Garlic Compound Butter


You want to add a ton of flavor to your meat? You want it to be easy and quick?  Compound butter is your answer.

Butter always gives a flavor boost but adding more flavors to it takes it to another level.  This is super quick and super easy.



INGREDIENTS

3 oz. butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (maybe a little less)
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic



Melt the butter in a mixing cup.  I like to use the comal that we use to heat our tortillas. Works better than the microwave, which spatters the butter too much.



Sprinkle just a touch of the Kosher salt into your molds. I bought these little glass bowls specifically to make compound butter. I like to have a few crystals of salt on the top of my butter, so when I flip over when done, they will form a little crown.



Mix the rosemary and garlic into the melted butter.



Pour the mixture into your molds



You should have about a pat's worth of butter in each mold.  Refrigerate for at least two hours.

We're using our compound butter on our pan-fried rib eye steaks.

We're doing our pan-fried rib eye steaks again on the gas barbecue but the catch this week is adding a bit of compound butter on top to compound the taste.  This is a very easy way to add a deeper level of flavor to the meat.


For Breakfast, it's one of my favorite Mexican specialties, Chilaquiles con Huevos (or tortilla chips and eggs).
