Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
¼ cup Fresh Parsley chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh chives sliced
2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

We start this compound butter by taking a stick of butter, (½ cup) and letting it come up to room temperature. It doesn’t work very well if you melt it, it just needs to be room temperature soft.
Gather fresh chives, fresh parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Chop the herbs, this can be done using Herb Scissors and then mince the garlic cloves.
Add the herbs and garlic to the softened butter and mix with a fork. Make sure the garlic is well incorporated.
Spoon the mixture on a piece of clear wrap and close the wrap. Gently form an elongated tube of butter mixture.
Or butter can be shaped into hearts, logs or even butterflies.
Then twist the ends of the wrap and tie off. Place the tube of butter into the refrigerator and allow to harden. Also, before it completely hardens, it can be taken out and rolled gently with your hand to make a perfectly round shape
As you are cooking your steak, remove the herb butter from the fridge and sliced into round pats of butter. And as soon as the steaks come off the grill, place a cut pat of butter on the top and allow to melt over each of the hot steaks.
