How to Make Garlic Butter (The Easy Way!)

1. Soften the Butter: Start by letting your butter come to room temperature. This makes it easier to mix.
2. Prepare the Garlic: Mince or crush the garlic. If you want a stronger flavor, use more cloves or even a dash of garlic powder to amplify the garlic flavor.
3. Mix It Together: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, fresh minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Use an electric mixer, food processor, or a fork to blend until smooth and creamy.
4. That's it! Use as is to make garlic bread or use as a spread.
5. If you’d like, transfer the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap, shaping it into a tight log and twisting the ends securely. Pop it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. Once firm, slice it into rounds—perfect for melting over this sizzling cast iron steak for an irresistible burst of flavor.

Storage + Freezer Instructions

Store your garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks (2 to 3).  For longer storage, portion it into ice cube trays or roll into a log, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze. This makes it super convenient to grab a cube for quick use later!

This garlic butter is packed with flavor made from basic ingredients you already have on hand. The easy process means you can whip this up in minutes—perfect for busy weeknights or unexpected guests.
