Ingredients
- 4 New York Steaks (Choice or Better), 12 oz.

- ¼ cup blue cheese, crumbled
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic *blanched, and pressed or minced (3 or 4 cloves)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, minced
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
Directions
-
1Cream butter in a small bowl using a fork or electric mixer.
-
2Gradually blend in the other ingredients. Butter mixture can be used while still soft, or it can be rolled into a cylinder in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerated or frozen, then sliced into teaspoon-sized rounds.
-
3Flavored butter can be stored a couple of days in the refrigerator or it can be frozen for several weeks.
-
4Season steaks with salt and pepper and grill or pan fry. Cook until the desired doneness. Place 1 Tablespoon on each steak and serve.
-
!Blanch garlic by placing unpeeled garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes then peel. It gives the garlic a milder, smoother flavor when incorporated into your compound butter. Learn how to make compound butter.
