I had bought steak but forgot to buy any topping for it. I whipped together this compact butter which contains all of my favorite things. This butter can be served on anything you like and makes plenty of extra!
For the Steak:
- Flat Iron Flank Steak
- Garlic Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt
If you have time, dredge both sides of the steak in kosher salt and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour. Then rinse in cold water and pat dry. Cook or grill to your liking with garlic pepper on both sides. You won't need any salt or seasoning since it has already penetrated the meat. I do medium high skillet heat for about 4 minutes per side to get it nice and crispy and medium in the center.
For the Compact Butter:
- 1/3 Cup butter room temp
- 1 head roasted garlic
- 3 chipotle peppers
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup cilantro
Blend these together in the food processor and then roll into wax paper and chill until ready to serve.
This will make your week night so much butter... I mean, better. ;)
