With Labor Day fast approaching I thought it was the perfect time to share a quick, easy, made with fresh herbs, butter recipe you can use on burgers or steaks to give them some extra flavor right off the grill.
I chopped the herbs fine, grated the lemon with a micro-plane and minced the garlic by hand. (I hate cleaning the garlic mincer.)
Using a fork I blended the herbs into the butter. I prefer a fork to a spoon when blending butter, as it mixes well, breaks up the butter and is easy to handle.
Then I rolled the butter into a small short log and placed int he refrigerator for about 30 minutes while the grill heated and the steaks cooked.
We seasoned the steaks with salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil. We grilled them on a closed grill 6 to 8 minutes (more if desired.) Cut a slice of herb butter and place in the center of each steak.
Easy and wonderfully flavorful. The citrus brightens the flavor, but some like a more savory taste you you can try it without the lemon.
