Caper - Anchovy Lemon Butter
Caper - Anchovy Lemon Butter
Herd & Grace
Mix up a simple anchovy butter, flecked with capers and lemon zest
Ingredients
- 3 anchovy fillet, rinsed and chopped
- 1/4 tsp. chopped garlic
- Kosher salt
- 3 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces
- 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp. capers, rinsed and finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1 t lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbs. Grapeseed oil
Directions
- Process all ingredients in a blender until well combined
- Turn out onto wax paper or parchment paper and form into a long roll (a log)
- Twist the ends of the paper and chill or freeze if not using right away
- Slice the butter and top the steaks with it as you remove the steaks from the heat and are plating them
- This steak butter will melt over and around your beef and act much like a sauce in enhancing the entrée and its presentation. If you wish to speed up the melting process, cut the butter pieces from the frozen log in advance of the steaks being ready and keep them at room temperature and then top the beef steaks when plating.
