Ranchmans Steak Butter Recipes

STEAK BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl with a wooden spoon.
• Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and scrape out butter into a log.
• Roll in the plastic, seal the ends and refrigerate for one hour.
• Remove and roll the plastic to as perfect a round cylinder as possible.
• Refrigerate or freeze until needed.
• When ready to use, remove from the wrap and cut into thick coins and place on the freshly cooked steak.

RIB EYE STEAKS WITH COWBOY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the cowboy butter: Well in advance, make the cowboy butter. Place the softened butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon. Mix it until it's totally combined, scraping the sides as needed. Add more parsley, more lemon juice, more pepper or salt if you'd like.
• Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steaks.
• Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it's melted and golden brown, sear the steaks for about 45 seconds per side. Set in the oven to finish, about 3 minutes.
• Lay a thick slice of cowboy butter on top of each steak so it will begin to melt. Serve within 5 minutes.

RANCHMAN'S STEAK BUTTER RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• In a small skillet or pan, toast minced garlic in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just turning brown; do not burn. Add toasted garlic, chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the pound of softened butter. Mix well. Divide seasoned butter in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap. Twist and tie each end of the plastic wrap to form 2 logs. Refrigerate until needed. After grilling your favorite steak, place 1 or 2 quarter-inch thick disks of seasoned butter on top of each. Serve and enjoy. Note: Butter logs can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month. Seasoned butter is great on chicken and seafood, too.

HERB BUTTER FOR STEAK

Steps:

• Place 7 tablespoons softened, unsalted butter in a small mixing bowl.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked garlic into reserved softened butter.
• Press minced fresh herbs into the garlic-butter mixture using a rubber spatula, stirring and pressing until evenly distributed. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firmed up, about 20 minutes.
• Turn mixture out onto a 9x12-inch strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Form mixture into a log, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll herb butter up in the foil or parchment, twisting the ends and closing with a twist tie or rubber band.
• Return to the refrigerator until firmed up, about 40 minutes.
• Slice into 8 equal portions and serve on top of steak or other dishes. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers up to 4 days.
