Herb Lemon Butter

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Finely shredded zest of 1 lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. 1. Whirl ingredients in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes.
2. 2. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Using a rubber spatula, scrape butter lengthwise onto plastic. Lift top edge of plastic up and over butter to meet bottom edge of plastic. Roll butter toward you, evening it out into a log about 4 in. long. Twist ends of plastic to seal. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
3. 3. Remove plastic and slice off 1/4-in. portions (1 tbsp.) to serve over steaks.
4. Make ahead: Up to 1 week chilled, or up to 1 month frozen, wrapped in several layers of plastic.
