Level up a steak with easy yet fancy compound butter

Farmer Aaron got his first grill ever. Wow! He’s ready to explore grilling this summer, and would love to take you on this adventure with him.

A tried and true meat for the grill is a nice steak. Miller’s has a variety of 100% grass fed and finished steak options for you.

Now, if you’re new to grilling steaks, I highly suggest using a meat thermometer when you get started. This will help you get the perfect cook. I also recommend reading this article about when to salt your steak. Super important!

Steak is pretty basic, but there’s a sophisticated yet simple way to dress it up - compound butter! 

It takes your backyard BBQ to 5 Michelin star level (OK I might be exaggerating a bit… but it is pretty darn delicious).

Compound butter is softened butter, whipped with herbs and spices and can be sweet or savory. The flavor combinations are endless. Think garlic and chives, rosemary and thyme, orange or lemon zest, and honey and cinnamon. Mmmmm.

With steak, I prefer to go savory. Check out this recipe.

When your steak is done, serve it with a slice of compound butter on top. It will drip off the sides and add a punch of flavor and a boost of juiciness to your meal. 

If steak isn’t your thing, you can use compound butter on so many things - bread, veggies, grilled mushrooms, and corn on the cob.
