Oh my goodness! What
have I stumbled upon on date night?
Something that has made me rethink how I will cook and serve steak and
burgers.
What is it that made me go on the hunt to find that unique flavor that had my taste buds wanting more, more, more with every bite? Why was I singing, “Feed Me Seymour” from Little Shoppe of Horrors?

Oh okay, I know this butter is not new. But, I promise you, I have never had it and I am enamored by it…I am in love, love, love with it. I recently discovered how to make this savory awesomeness and you can best believe, it will be on my next home grilled steak (which is far few between) or hamburger. The coolest part of making this recipe, it is incredibly easy and every ingredient, I was happy to find, is already a staple in my home…even the fresh herbs. Yay, me for braving the idea of growing my own herbs.
This recipe yields 1 pound of butter, which is the equivalent of 4 sticks of butter, which works for me because I have quite the number of mouths to feed with a family of six, plus three.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 large cloves)
2 tablespoons plus 1 pound unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
Directions
- Combine in a bowl 1 pound of softened butter, thyme, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- Over medium heat, add two tablespoons of butter and toast the minced garlic until they are brown…not burnt.
- Add browned garlic and butter to the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Place butter into plastic wrap or an air tight container. Refrigerate until needed.
This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make and about a half hour to set in the ‘fridge. Is there something that you add to your burgers and steaks to make them irresistible? If you try this butter, tell me your thoughts and don’t forget to share this post.
