Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mash all the ingredients together with a rubber spatula. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
  • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap (about 8"x12") on your work surface. Scoop the butter into an oblong mound in the center of the sheet. Roll the plastic wrap around the butter lengthwise and shape it into a 6-inch long cylinder. Twirl the ends tight and tuck it to the undersides of the cylinder.

  • When ready to serve, cut a half inch slice and place atop of your juicy steak or even eggs!
