Ingredients

  • 2 springs fresh rosemary
  • 2 springs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper

Equipment

  • plastic wrap or parchment paper

Directions

  • Remove the leaves from the rosemary and thyme. Finely chop or leave whole, depending on how smooth you want the butter to be.
  • In a bowl add the butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, garlic, and pepper.
  • Mix with your hands or wooden spoon until the seasonings are evenly distributed through the butter.
  • Layout a sheet of plastic wrap. Add the butter then roll the plastic to form a log, by twisting the ends tightly it places more pressure on the butter to compress and create an even roll.
  • Chill the butter roll until firm, at least 20 minutes.
  • To serve, slice a place on top of a steak, baked potato, or similar.
