Step 1

Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl then add the other ingredients. Stir well to make sure the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Place a sheet of parchment or waxed paper on a flat surface. Dollop the butter into the center of the paper to as close to a log shape as you can. Fold up the sides of the paper and use your hands to press the butter into a log. Twist the ends of the paper.

Step 3

Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then reform into a log (sometimes the bottom of the log will get a bit flat). Place in the freezer for one hour.

Step 4

Slice into 8 rounds and use to top your steak, chicken, fish or warm bread.

Step 5

The entire log or separate rounds can be refrigerated for up to one month and frozen for up to three months.

Step 6

You can also put the butter in a small dish and skip forming it into a log. In that case, it can go straight into the refrigerator after mixing. This is what I usually do unless I'm serving it for guests.
