Steakhouse-Style Bleu Cheese Compound Butter

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2-3 tablespoons bleu cheese crumbles
• 1/2 teaspoon brown spicy mustard
• 2-3 drops Worcestershire sauce
• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Optional: a tiny pinch of minced garlic or a few chopped herbs (like chives)

Instructions

1. 01Let the butter soften to room temperature.
2. 02Mash together the butter, bleu cheese, mustard, Worcestershire, and black pepper with a fork.
3. 03Mix until just combined - you want a few little chunks of bleu cheese remaining.
4. 04Spoon onto plastic wrap, roll into a log, and refrigerate until firm (or freeze for longer storage).
5. 05For grilled steaks, cut a 1/2-inch thick medallion and place it on the steak while it rests for 5-10 minutes. The butter slowly melts over the hot steak without completely disappearing, creating that steakhouse finish.
