Method

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until fairly smooth.
Wrap the butter in plastic wrap, roll it into a log and refrigerate until chilled and firm. Cut 2,5 cm slices from the log. Then, when you’re ready to serve the just-cooked steak, vegetables, seafood or chicken, drop a slice of butter on top. The heat of the food will melt it. Serve immediately.
