How To Make Compound Herb Garlic Butter - Best Steak Topping
About this video
The Gazette team demonstrates how to make compound butter (herb butter) from scratch to serve with steak. They explain the importance of using high-fat European-style butter and fresh herbs, then walk through the process of mixing in seasonings, garlic, and fish sauce before rolling and refrigerating the butter for later use.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team recommends using European or European-style butter with higher fat content, as fat absorbs and enhances flavors
- The Gazette team emphasizes using only fresh herbs rather than dried or frozen varieties, as dried herbs lack intensity and frozen herbs are too moist for compound butter
- The Gazette team suggests adding fish sauce as a secret ingredient to create umami savory depth, along with salt, paprika, and garlic or shallot for balanced flavor
