This easy-to-make steak butter is a combination of butter, blue cheese and fresh herbs. This compound butter recipe is great when you want to enhance the flavor of beef or make steak-night extra special.
Have you ever had melted blue cheese butter on a steak? If not, you need to try it. It’s so good and so easy to make.
Usually, I’m not a fan of blue cheese, but this easy blue cheese butter is the exception. It’s amazing with steak. And if you happen to have any butter left over (which we never do) you can add it to your vegetables or baked potato.
Here’s another quick tip — If you’re in a real pinch and only have butter and blue cheese in your kitchen, you can skip the fresh herbs. Alternatively, you can also subsitute the fresh thyme with another fresh herb like parsley or basil.
