Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (1 stick) salted butter works best, but you can also use unsalted butter and adjust the salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3-4 cloves)or grated with a microplane
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Soften the Butter: Start by letting your butter come to room temperature. This makes it easier to mix.
- 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.
- 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.
- That's it! Use as is to make garlic bread or use as a spread.
- 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.
Notes
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 for up to 6 months.
