This wonderful Blue Cheese Compound Butter takes a grilled steak to a whole other level. Compound butter is a mixture of butter and other ingredients to enhance flavor in various dishes. It can be made by whipping additional elements, such as herbs, spices or aromatic liquids, into butter. The butter is then reformed, usually in plastic wrap or parchment paper, and chilled until it is firm enough to be sliced. These butters can be melted on top of meats and vegetables, used as a spread or used to finish various sauces.
